Review of
Warsaw Pact Ground Forces,
by Gordon L. Rottman ISBN 0850457300
Five out of five stars
A short intelligence briefing plus primer on uniforms
The first part
of this book reads like a succinct intelligence briefing on the strength, organization
and positioning of the military forces of the Warsaw Pact countries other than
the Soviet Union. There are a few times where questions are raised as to the
reliability of those forces if a global war were to break out. Color plates of
various soldiers in full military dress are included and the last section is a
detailed description of those uniforms down to the headgear and patches worn.
The author is
clearly an expert in this area and the descriptions of the uniforms are strictly
based on facts. If you have an interest in this historical niche, then you are
interested in this book.
