Reviews

This 10 x 12 volume is an excellent introduction to the world of military uniforms and gear. The graphics are excellent, each page featuring labeled, full-color illustrations of uniforms from military museums in England and the United States. Uniforms and gear from the Roman Empire through Desert Storm are profiled (Roman, Knights, Samurai, American Revolution, Civil War, World War I and II, Vietnam War, and Desert Storm). Approximately 20 parts of each uniform are labeled--great for Scrabble addicts and Dragon & Dungeon Players. Though containing a few minor errors (ALICE gear was not adopted till after the Vietnam War) and intended primarily for juvenile readers, this dictionary's scope, fair price, and high-quality illustrations recommend it to most school and public libraries.
