Synopsis
For nearly 50 years from 1898 the bolt-action rifles produced by Germany's Mauser company played a central role in infantry combat, in the hands of combatants as diverse as the South African Boers, the German armed forces during the world wars and snipers in the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s. Popular among collectors and central to an understanding of small-unit tactics in the 20th century, the iconic Mauser family of rifles has its story told in detail here, supported by specially commissioned full-colour artwork, gripping first-hand accounts and expert analysis.

Paperback. Condition: New. Dennis, Peter; Gilliland, Alan (illustrator). This volume offers an insight into the iconic Mauser family of German bolt-action rifles.Drawing on first-hand accounts of the weapons in combat and primary sources regarding their mechanical performance, this fully illustrated study charts the Mauser's origins, combat record and lasting influence. It explores the full range of Mauser rifles, beginning with the hugely successful Gew 98, which entered service in the time of the Kaiser, provided the basis for the US Springfield M1903 and equipped combatants such as the South African Boers. It also investigates the Kar 98k, which was still in front-line use with Wehrmacht troops in 1945, saw use with Mexican and Yugoslavian forces, and even played a role in the 1990s Balkan conflicts in the hands of snipers.Featuring expert analysis, specially commissioned artwork and gripping first-hand accounts, this volume is ideal for anyone seeking an understanding of these sturdy and accurate rifles' unique place in the history of small-unit tactics in the 20th century.
