Summary: MODERN AMERICAN WEAPONS
Comment: Edited by David Miller, "The Illustrated Directory of Modern American Weapons" is a compact and fairly comprehensive guide to the wide range of sophisticated armaments available to the U.S. Armed Forces at the outset of the ongoing "War on Terror." As to be expected from MBI Publishing Company's "Illustrated Directory" military series, the book is well-stocked with informative, easy-to-read entries for every major weapons system along with over three hundred photographs, most of them of good quality. Specifactions cover such high-profile vehicles as the F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber, the F-18 Hornet, Ohio-class nuclear sub, M1 main battle tank, and the Paladin self-propelled howitzer to the weapons they carry--like the Maverick air-to-surface missile and torpedoes--to the lighter but lethal small arms our ground troops rely on in melee, like the M16, M24 sniper rifle, and the M9 9mm pistol. This is almost certainly the most complete guide to American weapons currently available, and the price is unbeatable. Recommended to all military buffs or anyone who wants to know more about the tools our men and women in uniform rely on in the thick of battle.

Summary: A must-have for all weapons buffs
Comment: I have read numerous books on modern weaponry and modern warfare, but this one still managed to provide plenty of information to fill my knowledge gaps. It is a very comprehensive compilation of american weapons, from ballistic missiles to pistols, from supersonic jet fighters to humvees. This wonderful illustrated directory should give you plenty of "munitions" to talk like a weapons expert!
Rating: 4
Summary: Well illustrated
Comment: This handy volume is a pocket catalog of the latest American hardware. It's quite up-to-date, though I'm in no position to assess its accuracy or comprehensiveness.
The contents are as follow: Intro, Strategic Weapons Systems, Combat Aircraft, Support Aircraft, Special Electronic & Reconnaissance Aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Air-to-Air Missiles, Air-to-Surface Weapons, Surface Weapons, Submarines, Naval Weapons Systems, Tanks and Fighting Vehicles, Land Warfare-Indirect Fire Weapons, Land Warfare-Direct Fire Weapons, Air Defense Systems, Small Arms.
What this book lacks is an Index, and Sources and Bibilography.
A useful overview of the equipment of the most powerful military in the world. Have it by your side as you watch CNN.
