Estonian War of Independence animated.
Shows the location of different formations in the war, along with a little bit of history as it does a fast day by day break down of the war.

Got my copy yesterday - Consider this a short review.  I had not bought any Osprey Elite lately - the plates (8) are dispensed throughout the book. There are 28 uniform studies and they are all of 'fighting men'.  The last couple of MAA titles I bought had medics,pilots and parade uniforms -  this is not the case with this title.

The plates concentrate on the Baltic States - Latvia, Lithuania but include volunteers from Finland, Denmark and Sweden as well as the Red,White and Freikorps.  it is interesting to see the mix of Tsarist,German and British uniforms worn and there are many black and white photographs from the different countries and factions.

The blurb on the back cover says it is the first study of it's kind.

Hi, I have it earmarked as a potential purchase do you reckon it is worth a read?

Yes it is worth buying the plates are by Johnny Shumate - he also did the Osprey on the Polish Legions. See his work here.
