I have never seen a book that does such a great job pairing military history with food history. It is very readable, packed with interesting facts and amusing anecdotes, and the photos are gorgeous! I tried a couple of the recipes and they are easy to do in a modern kitchen and taste great. Plus, it's great they are donating part of the proceeds to a veterans program. My husband and I both loved this book, so it would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys history, the military or cooking.

I bought "Military High Life" as a gift for my grandfather, a retired Navy officer. He and his wife often entertain (with many other retired military friends among their guests). They have served 3 dishes so far from the book, with great results. It is an ideal gift for the hard-to-shop-for man. I recommend it to all fans of food and the military.

This is a great book, taking a historical look at the best and the worst of military cuisine, as well as giving recipes that you can fix at home.

I intially got this title so I could try cooking. The book offers great receipe's, it is also informative on the history behind them. I enjoyed reading it, yet I still have not tried to cook anything. The receipe's are a little more than what I'm used to doing. However, it is basic enough that anyone could try with a little effort.
