From Library Journal
Stanton, military historian and archivist, has written the definitive text on the evolution of the U.S. Army uniform during World War II. Four hundred captioned black-and-white photographs (many previously unpublished) describe all issue and many experimental uniforms. Covered are dress uniforms, field uniforms, helmets, tropical and winter gear, boots, and the only in-print descriptions of Women Army Corp uniforms. Before the publication of this work, information on this topic was available only from old U.S. Army Quartermaster Supply catalogs, Phil Katcher’s U.S. Army Uniforms: 1941-45 (Osprey, dist. by Stackpole, 1984. rev. ed.), or specialized military uniform periodicals. The only handicap is the lack of color photographs, but at $29.95 this book is a bargain and belongs on the shelves of all public libraries. A worthy companion to Stanton’s U.S. Army Uniforms of the Vietnam War (Stackpole, 1988).no LJ -KRAD — Richard Nowicki, Emerson Vocational H.S., Buffalo, N.Y.
