What does /his/ think of Osprey Books? Are they good entry read for all those subjects that they represent?
They are definitely good entry points. People were compiling a huge list of books in a documentary in a thread the other day.

They are more often than not quite good and the illustrations and pictures are great.
Expensive if you were to actually buy physical copies, I just torrent the ebooks.
Very good, they cover a broad area of armys ranging from the Warlord armys of civil war china to the East German Army.

Abandon Series.
Their depiction of Han China for one thing is particularly atrocious.
I suddenly feel stupid for not downloading that massive torrent I saw for them.
I saw it though "Wow. That's a lot of books about the VTOL OSPREY airplane."

Also they took Ninjas seriously.

Read a proper scholarly history book and stop jerking off to military uniforms.

Their general summary books, if they follow the Korean War one, are quite adequate little chapbooks.
Their grognard books are the best grog books available.
