A thorough examination of the GI's uniforms for all seasons, on all fronts, and for all missions. Authentic uniforms and weapons are captured in full colour in realistic backgrounds.

An accurate, very thorough and well photographed record.

Interesting book, completely illustrated, good reenacting photographs; I think it's a well done guide for USA WWII militaria collectors and reenactors.
Rated by buyers -
There are great colour pictures of utility and wear of the gear. This book is best to buy together with the book : "G.I. COLLECTORS GUIDE: Army Service Forces Catalog: US Army European Theater of Operations".

This book makes an excellant companion to GERMAN SOLDIERS OF WORLD WAR TWO by Jean de Lagarde. Though it only covers ground forces it does so quite well.
A must have for anyone interested in WWII GIs.

A MUST have for anyone interesting in WWII - from the casual history buff to the serious reenactor. The colour photographs breathe new life into the lives the men led, and give a much clearer picture of what they had to put up with (a LOT of those items were heavy and/or bulky), as well as the uses of their equipment. If you've ever had a question about 'how did they ever do _____?', then this is the book for you. From mud-spattered uniforms to the ubiquitous Lucky Strikes, this book will give you a view into the past... and in colour :)

Here is one superb research material for all collectors and modellers who are interested in American WW2 uniforms and equipment. Photographs are superb, clear, and sharp! Sure, the models are re-enactors, but they were posed and modeled realistically.
As an American WW2 militaria collector in the Philippines, where information does not abound as much as in the United States and other countries, I would say that this book lessened the burden of research and saved me a lot of time and effort.
I would highly recommend this reference material to all!
