Review
Manning recaps the British Army's first purpose-designed breechloader in the 26th volume of Osprey's acclaimed "Weapon" series. Coverage highlights the rifle's origins and its iconic use in Victorian colonial warfare. And figure painters will enjoy Dennis' color artwork. Another excellent Osprey introduction!
Coverage includes:
- Introduction
- Development
- Use
- Impact
- Conclusion
- Bibliography
- Index
My sincere thanks to Osprey Publishing for this review sample!
