This video provides a book review of Dr. Matthew Ford's "Weapon of Choice: Small Arms and the Culture of Military Innovation." The reviewer highlights that despite its appearance, the book is a rigorous academic study focusing on the political and sociological factors behind the UK's small arms adoption process throughout the 20th century. Key weapons discussed include the SMLE, No4 Enfield, SLR, SA80, and FN Minimi. The review touches on the book's exploration of how soldiers' perspectives, differing NATO infantry combat visions, and manufacturer marketing influenced weapon choices, questioning the soldier's ability to make objective choices. The reviewer notes the book's detailed insights and encourages interested viewers to read it.
