One of the greatest books on modern military combat is now back in print! McBride left the U.S. for Canada in 1914 to be in World War I as soon as possible. His extensive experience involving firearms (he was a National Match competitor) was put to good use in France with both the machine-gun and sniper rifle. Thus, the great bulk of this fascinating book deals not with military history, but with the use of all types of personal weapons in battle. Jeff Cooper calls it a true classic.
