Synopsis

An expert visual history of military personnel, with 600 images of uniforms and contextual analysis.

• An incredible directory of the military personnel of the period, with 600 images, including photographs and illustrations of uniforms, kit, weaponry and equipment

• Analyses the context of the conflict, and the ideology and politics that motivated the various national forces, as well as the experience of the soldiers who fought on the front lines

World War II was a huge conflict, fought on different fronts, covering diverse terrain and involving the fighting men of dozens of nations.

At the outbreak of war in 1945 military uniforms had changed little from those worn by the soldiers of World War I, but as the conflict progressed changes were made to adapt to fighting and living conditions.

This book covers in detail what the soldiers who fought in the war wore, from British infantrymen in Normandy to Japanese troops in Burma, and from Finnish ski divisions to female Chinese partisans.

Lavishly illustrated, with intricate insignia detail, this book offers a definitive visual study of a pivotal period of history.
