The Visual Dictionary of Military Uniforms (Eyewitness Visual Dictionaries)

Well I bought this book used like new for $1.98 free delivery. It has beautiful photos and stories about uniforms. 1 thing no ww2 us uniform! Others missing but cant complain for that price. Now its $40. At that price not worth it. Too many non essential uniforms.

Nice large scale book on uniforms . Covers many eras . Got it for the photos of WW2 German and War Between the States uniforms

Just as described, perfect for what I needed for my costumes

Actually this book contains great visuals.However, I don't see this offering as being of much interest to a juvenile. More likely, this book would attract re-enactors and modellers looking for that extra detail found in real artefacts, not just drawings. The problem would be, of course, the very broad sweep of all military uniforms and paraphernalia, which would reduce any meaningful search for a specific item. The bias here seems to be a focused coverage toward American forces - overkill on the American War of Independence, American Civil War and the Iraqi Conflict.
