This book is a great addition to my military collection. The author has collected color photographs of examples of many of the world's camo uniforms, including many types used by the U.S. However, the organization of the material is kind of hit and miss and it makes me wonder how hard he tried with some countries. One whole category is "South America" and only two pages are dedicated to the nations on that continent. Still, a handy book for such a slim volume.

This book is not intended to cover every single nations specalist Camos, it does cover the most common and some not so common camos that the average collector may come across. I found this book most useful and the colour photos are of great quality unlike alot tof the other black and White Camouflage books on the market. The Author has clearly put alot of time and effort into producing this book a must have for Camo fans!

This is a worthy general reference on modern battle-uniforms.

Most of the uniforms featured within date from the mid-2oth century, and even the first decade of the 21st.Its not entirely an all-inclusive listing, but it does give you a good overview of what various modern military units are wearing, or what they did wear. Some of the organizations featured within no longer exist, such as the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact armies. In fact, the cover features East German N.V.A. soldaten (National Volks Armee). Much of these uniform items are easily available at military-surplus stores.

This is a neat little book, thoroughly packed with vivid color photos, and a great general reference for the military buff.
