Bonjour Olivier, merci pour le review.
Is there much in the book on the Irish involvement in UNIFIL?

I bought the book and must admit I agree with your review Olivier.
Thus the book is a little bit pricy it is very interesting and inspiring.
Sean, four A4 pages covering the IRISHBATT. Some images of Pirnaha 3, RG-32 and 8x8 MAN truck can be seen.
cheers
Walter

Sean,
Walter already answered your question but I can add that I was a bit "frustrated" by the title pretending the book covered 1978-2011 while it's mainly focused on 2006 onward. So you will not see any of the early Irish deployment vehicles.

Thanks for the review Olivier.
Like Walter I think this is a bit expensive though, at 20 euros or less I would have bought it for sure. At 30 I'll wait to have the opportunity to browse before I make a decision to purchase, or not...
Plus the photo quality (reproduction?) doesn't seem to be optimal.
Cheers,
Christophe

Not sure what copy you have Christophe, but the photos are very sharp in the printed form of the book.The price is comparable for a limited run publication.

And I don't think it's more limited than Kagero for instance.
Bought their gorgeous book on the Leclerc for a lot less than 30 euros.

Salut Christophe,
new pictures have been sent to Armorama so they do more justice to the original ones.
Concerning the price, I think it's not that high. The book has more pages than, let's say, the Desert Eagle offerings which are quite close in terms of price.

Thanks Walther & Olivier. 4 pages on Irish involvement might just make it worth the price for me....our gear doesn't get covered very often in these types of reference books.
Now just need someone to produce a Piranha IIIH and RG-32 in 1/35 scale
