A Rifleman Went to War

by Herbert W. McBride, LTC Jeff Cooper (Introduction)

Overview

Not a history of World War One but a fact filled thesis on the use of rifle, pistol and machinegun in combat. "The chapters on sniping and machinegunnery are classics and by themselves make this book worth one's while to read. Any serious student of marksmanship will be thoroughly entertained and educated. Yet this is only part of the book's value; McBride's insights about the practicalities of surviving and winning the infantry battle are true gems, and are well worth the attention of infantrymen at every level." - Marine Corps Gazette

About the Author

He was assigned to a wartime only unit, the 21st Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He served at the front as a rifleman, sniper and machinegunner.
