Excellent technical history of the gun. If you like details of development, engineering and manufacturing of the 88 family, this is the book for you. It also deals with tank guns, self propelled versions and post-war use. There is not much by way of combat history, so if you look for a book about the 88 in action, you'll have to look elsewhere. It is also a good example of the weird and wondrous ways of weapon procurement in the III Reich.
A book about a gun, specifically the 40mm automatic cannon designed and built initially by the Swedish company AB Bofors. Rather dry, just a brief design history and then several chapters about development and manufacturing in several companies.
This book provides a complete guide to all tanks of World War II, drawing on information from the ultimate military authority, Jane's Information Group. There are also special sections on the development of the tank from the 1930's and on armoured tactics.
