Reviews

"The author does a superb job of giving the background, development and use of the M-60 over the years. Incorporating superb photos and some nicely done drawings and artwork, the book gives the reader a complete story of this important weapon. It was a book from which I learned quite a lot and one I can easily recommend to you." --Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness (April 2013) "Any military or firearms collection strong in equipment history will find this an intriguing history." --The Midwest Book Review (April 2013)
