well, I like the Bekesi's book both for its mistakes and good things...writting a book is not an easy thing. But according to Doug's opinion, a little complementary guide would be necessary! starting with those 2 vol is very risky!!in fact they're a guide both for fakes and good stuff...The photos are great but uniforms are too small, creased (?). On medals, huge problem, and I wouldn't like to be at Bekesi's place: ugly fake souvorov on susp, fake belgrade and 20 RKKA; in vol 2 ugly fake HSU medal... idem about MSU shoulder boards...
The book is interesting for me coz I've a bit of experinece (partly thanks to this forum!!! :)
and coz I'm still looking for common stuff.
My opinion: the guy reached to write a book, he did his best I think; now it's up to us to make the list of errors and help reading better this work.

(not bought the vol2, expensive importation in Paris, but just the time to see ugly errors. But always correct for common stuff...)
