Ecco la collana che mancava nelle varie serie realizzate dalla Osprey Publishing quella dedicata alle armi bianche e da fuoco. 80 pagine, abbondantemente illustrate con foto e artwork, presentano il disegno, lo sviluppo, l'impiego e l'impatto sulla storia dell'arma presa in esame.

In 1990 the Beretta M9 replaced the venerable Colt 1911 as the main pistol of choice for the US Army, and it has seen widespread use in Iraq and Afghanistan. Written by a leading pistol expert who currently trains US Special Forces in the use of this weapon, this book is an honest appraisal of the successes and failings of the 9mm Beretta. The volume traces the Beretta designs that preceded the M9, as well as its use on the battlefield, including the impact it has had on close combat training due its the larger magazine capacity. It also details the adoption of the Beretta by US law enforcement agencies and the impact this has had. This is a fascinating history of a classic pistol and an assessment of its future use.
