Uniforms, Insignia, and Organisation
Andrew Mollo
Military historians, artist, collectors of militaria, wargamers, and war enthusiast in general will appreciate this comprehensive record of the uniforms, insignia, and organisation of the fighting men of World War II.
Andrew Mollo is a leading British military historian with a world-wide reputation, and this book is the result of years of study and research. His text not only details the design of uniforms and insignia, but also describes their effectiveness in the field, and how this affected the fighting ability of the troops themselves.
In addition, meticulous attention has been lavished on the accuracy of a remarkable series of 365 specially commissioned drawings in full colour. Theses are supported by 165 photographs of the combatants in action, while 53 plates of insignia complete the illustrations. The authenticity of the drawings, together with the comprehensive descriptions, make this book an invaluable source of reference.
