George Layman has provided his depth and knowledge about the communist and cold war era to the SKS as he did in his prior book on “Communist Bloc Handguns”. With his unique 21 years as an intelligence officer and numerous comunist bloc sources he provides the broadest information on SKS makers and users. After writing over 17 books and articles he writes with precision, clarity and conciseness . This is a book not only for your bookshelf but for your reading lamp. It will serve as the basis for future dicussion, additions and constructive input. Adrian Van Dyks SKS collection provides a better than musuem quality opportunity to view over 800 photos with precise up close details. Thank you for sharing. We are grateful for George Layman sharing his lifetime of experience and knowledge. This book with its interesting and informative focus could only have been written by him and for that we owe him a debt of gratitude.
