Robert W. Clawson
This volume, written by the world's foremost authority on
Russian combat helmets, is the first comprehensive study of the
most ubiquitous helmets of the twentieth century. "Russian Helmets"
provides the keys to accurate identification of the various models of
Russian and Soviet helmets, from steel to exotic metals and composite
fiber. It is a comprehensive history of each model issued in any significant
number to the troops; in addition it notes numerous rare experimental
models and evaluates their contribution to the evolution of subsequent
production models. Included are never before published photos of the
various models as well as cutaway drawings and diagrams. This book
provides a reliable comprehensive reference for every serious helmet
collector or student of twentieth century warfare.
