This companion volume to Fighting Men of World War II: Axis Forces (978-0-8117-0277-5) offers a comprehensive, full-color look at the clothing (such as boots, pants, helmet, tunic, greatcoat, camouflage, and badges), equipment, weapons, and rations of Allied soldiers in World War II. Also included are popular items, such as lighters, that were carried by many troops but were not standard issue. The accompanying text describes the items and compares them to those of other armies. The result is a complete picture of the daily life and conditions of the fighting men of all Allied countries. It is an essential reference work for all military historians, collectors, and general readers.

Title: Good coverage of period small arms
Review: I bought this book for the excellent discussions of small arms it contained. The illustrations were first rate. The rest of the book was very interesting and well illustrated, but the very cheap price would have justified purchasing it just for the small arms section alone. I also bought the companion volume and was well satisfied with both.

Title: Book looks great.
Review: Just got the book today in the mail - it's in excellent shape, actually a bit better than I usually find at the local Barnes and Nobles. Was slightly confused by the packing material, though - the grey stuff caught me off guard. But I'm satisfied with my order.
