Review
There are millions of military buffs around the world, avidly searching
out everything from their ancestors’ exploits to battle history to
arcane details of weaponry from every era. The difficulty for beginner
and expert alike is where to find publications that steer the interested
to source material. Sidney Allinson’s directory of 600 military
publications is uniquely useful, providing the names of journals and
addresses, all organized into categories for ease of use. Interested in
the Mongol Empire? The Quiver, published in England, is for you. Looking
for a woman veteran of Vietnam? Athena, out of Northampton,
Massachusetts, is the journal. Tobruk veterans? ROTA, the Rats of Tobruk
Association magazine, can help. Every library needs this guide.
