Great details on the Balkan campaign, next to nothing on the Caucasus campaign. I also thought the detail on the Russian and Turkish armies were really good. The plates are quite well done.

The plates are very good and are a lot of interesting bits but then there is a whole section to go over the German Army medical service which seemed tangential to the topic at best. There is no mention of General Oskar von Hutier at all which is completely bizarre for a book on this topic. I understand that Hutier's actual involvement with development of infiltration tactics is a point of controversy but that should have at least been mentioned.

Does as good of a job of introducing the WWI German stormtroopers as you can do in 64 pages. The typical Osprey fare. A nice collection of pictures and artist complements the text.

Colourful, but now somewhat dated
