Anyone interested in coastal defense or artillery should find it enjoyable and informative."" - Coast Defense Journal ""I found this book quite fascinating. Railway Guns of World War II explains an area of rail operations that is rarely covered."" - Model Railroader News ""If you enjoy history and want to find something different you might scratch-build for your layout, you had best look into Railway Guns of WWI and Rail-way Guns of WWII. I enjoyed them; I bet you will also."" - Railroad Model Craftsman
