The evolution of the uniforms worn by ground troops, aviators and sailors are graphically illustrated in full colour photographs throughout this work. By focusing on uniforms, equipment and men, the book brings history closer to life by emphasing specific aspects of the conflict though a detailed study of military garments and items.
