 Rating:  - A Good Documentary Research MaterialThis is a good source of real WW2 photos showing actual applications of WW2 uniforms and equipment. The selling point here are the rare pictures showing the experimental M-1943 uniform and equipment in it's "prototype" configuration. I would recommend this to researchers,collectors, and modellers of American WW2 militaria. RICHARD STEVE C. PAZ PHILIPPINES! Rating:  - Definitive Developmental StudyThe other reviewers above have missed the point of this work. This is not a picture book of what the soldier looked like in the field.

Rating:  - Good book but too much emphasis on experimental uniforms.This book is full of great pictures, both posed and candid. Most pictures are of adequate size to review the uniforms and equipment. However, the author spends too much time on officer's uniforms and on experimental uniforms. Good sections on winter and foul weather gear as well as women's uniforms. Rating:  - Not enough detail on the uniforms.I was rather disappointed by this book. I was hoping to get a good look at the uniforms worn by the GIs, especially in the Eastern Theatre. The photos in this book were too small, and you just couldn't get a good enough image of the uniforms. This book is only good if one is interested in the history of the GI uniform during WWII. Still, it is a disappointing book. I would not suggest this book to anyone interested in the uniform of the American soldier in WWII.
