"Grenades" by Rick Landers
Die Zunder der Schweizer Armee 1848-2000
Peter Jaeggi
Another great book!! This book is written in German but has a table included that translates the most important information into three other languages, English, Italian, and French, a very useful tool. The book covers the fuzes in use by the Swiss Army from 1848 to 2000. The book contains a great Grenade section, also sections on Boobytrap and Demolition igniters, Detonators, Mine fuzes, and of course Artillery fuzes. Over 300 pages with colour photos and drawings throughout. Well worth adding to your library.
