Designed to fill an overlooked gap, this book, originally published in 1972, provides a single unified introduction to bibliographical sources of British military history. Moreover it includes guidance in a number of fields in which no similar source is available at all, giving information on how to obtain acess to special collections and private archives, and links military history, especially during peacetime, with the development of science and technology.

Expanded from the 1987 World War I Aviation Books in English: An Annotated Bibliography to include about 1,000 books in other European languages and to extend the coverage to 1994. The arrangement is first by language then by author. The annotations are mostly descriptive but occasionally critical. Among the 4,217 listings are privately printed books, limited editions of rare books, and reprints and different editions of the same work. Also includes a listing of government publications, a price checklist of selected books compiled from dealer's catalogs, collectors' evaluations, and a few photographs. Of interest to book collectors as well as historians. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
