Review Quotes: "...recommended for those interested in the history of ground engagements of World War I, and in particular, those interested in the history of American troops. It is a treasure trove of information and artwork featuring the uniforms and weapons that were used during this conflict. The book is very well written and informative. The illustrations are excellent in and of themselves and add enormously to the overall high quality and value of the publication." --IPMS
