Reader Reviews:
Good introductory guide (13/13 people found this helpful)
There hasn't, until now, been a good primer to the Finnish Army in the three wars it fought between 1939 and 1944, so this book is particularly welcome. A professional guide to the Finnish Army's equipment, uniforms and tactics, it contains some rare photographs, some never seen before, and eight excellent colour plates by one of Osprey's best artists, Raffaele Ruggieri.
It's especially pleasing to have a brief history of Finland's short war with Germany in 1944, a rarity indeed.
In all, a thorough and competent study of a sadly overlooked army in World War Two.
