About this title

Synopsis:

A unique single-volume combination of two best selling books, 'Army Uniforms of World War 2' and 'Army Uniforms Since 1945', this bumper handbook covers the uniforms, weapons and personal equipment of the twenty-four nations that took part in World War II, and then proceeds to give a similar coverage on all the wars, guerilla conflicts, and cold war confrontations up to the time of publication. 349 uniformed figures and fifty pieces of equipment are illustrated in full color, and a further 132 black and white drawings depict badges, small arms, head dress, boots and other personal equipment. Full introductory material and campaign details provide the background to the illustrations, which are also supplemented by extended detailed notes.
