I could spend fucking hours just pouring over little details in them. It was like an educational "Where's Waldo".

If my sister ever has kids I'm buying them a bunch of these to turn them into little history buff nerds.

Yes! I would check out books like this from the library all the time.

Fanciful visualisation of "Bin Laden's Mountain Fortress" from American propaganda. Shows an entire mountain completely hollowed out by tunnels

Note the lack of detail when compared to OP, there is so much less going on here even tho it shows a much larger structure. It's like looking at contemporary Lego sets that forego complexity for merch tie-ins to Marvel and Harry Potter slop.
