A new book on the subject of ECW dragoons is now available. Here's my review, of what is a really good volume. Highly recommended link

Hopefully it is better proof-read than a lot of the Helion editions! |

I've only just started to read the book, so can't really comment on the proof-reading, but the production quality seems pretty poor. The pages are of thin, slippery paper, and the reproductions of formation diagrams are too small to work out what's going on -even with a magnifying glass. And worse: there's no index. |

… Rambling. Could have benefited from chapter sub-headings. But some interesting details turn up from time to time. |

I so agree about sub-headings within the chapters. That, and the lack of an index, makes it difficult to refer back to a topic or check a particular point. Worth borrowing from a library, but not a book to which one would return regularly, IMHO. |
