Nice review, looks like a good book.

I wouldn't say Osprey books are overpriced. Not when I was at a LHS today and saw magazines going for $15.00.

Thanks, it is a great book. I usually get my books from Amazon and never pay retail.

Just to clarify, I personally feel this book is worth every penny of the of the price. Even better, you can pick it up from Amazon.com for only $12.21. Here is a link for those who might be interested in picking up this title. I'm also really looking forward to volume II on the Wartime classes.
