Excellent resource for World War I information and terms

As a reader of World War I fiction and memoirs, I found this an invaluable resource for unfamiliar terms, such as different types of weapons/equipment. This dictionary, compiled by an authority on military history and munitions, covers important people, the battles, and terms of WWI in concise, understandable terms. In additon to the 650 entries, some drawings and maps were included. While students of history may not find this book detailed enough to meet their needs, I found it a useful pocket resource.
