This comprehensive book review covers Bruce Canfield's 'U.S. Small Arms of World War II,' an 864-page volume detailing American weaponry from the conflict. The book balances historical context with collector-level detail, including first-hand accounts and coverage of edged weapons, experimental arms, and less common equipment. Ian McCollum highly recommends it as an essential resource for enthusiasts of U.S. military history and WWII small arms.

This video offers a detailed book review of "Spanish Rolling Block: The Basque Made Rifles of the Third Carlist War." The book, an English translation, delves into the specific history and production of small arms made in the Basque region of Spain during the 1870s, particularly for locally organized volunteers who couldn't acquire arms from the military. It covers variations in Remington Rolling Block designs, pinfire guns, and Snider conversions, highlighting original documents and photographic evidence of subtle model differences from manufacturers like La Escalduna and La Azpeitiana, alongside military contracts from the Oviedo Arsenal.
