Submachine Guns of the Second World War

The chapters in this book cover the submachine guns mass produced by all the major countries in the conflict, describing the design and production of each weapon and giving its detailed specification.

Frederick Clifford has a long-standing interest in the history of small arms - their design, development and operational use - and has concentrated on the submachine gun, one of the characteristic weapons of the world wars. Using primary sources, along with a close examination of the weapons themselves, he has compiled this wide-ranging highly illustrated introduction to them.
