Summary: Pictorial history of the WWII GI
Comment: I had to say I loved the view into history that this book gave me. I also happen to be into the equipemnt of the G.I. This is THE book for that. It has over a 100 pictures that show what Patton's GIs really looked like during their epic campaign across Europe. The author is very good at pointing out details in uniforms and equipment on every picture. From types of boots and undergarmnents, he has a great eye. This book will stay in my library.

Rating: 4
Summary: Outstanding Reference
Comment: A trasure trove of pictures that show what Patton's GIs really looked like during their epic campaign across Europe. Although the there are some mistakes in the captions (Omar Bradley and Courtney Hodges are misidentified in one picture), the author makes up for them by frequently pointing out details in uniforms and equipment that the casual reader would miss. For anyone interested in the WWII GI and his gear, this little book is a must.

Rating: 5
Summary: Good pictorial record.
Comment: This work, another in Greenhill/Stackpole's excellent uniform series, comprises 125 good clear photos with captions, illustrating and describing all the uniforms and individual equipment of the famous WWII U.S. Third Army.
The photos are well chosen and show the soldiers in combat as well as more mundane pursuits. The reader may be surprised to see that, contrary to myth, neckties are not much in evidence, and a number of men didn't mind being photographed wearing the woolen cap, whether Old Blood And Guts liked it or not. A valuable addition to the record, and useful for those who were not around at the time and want to see how the soldier actually looked.
