Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Fighting a war in distant Korea's harsh climate challenged the U.S. Army's ability to provide appropriate clothing for its men in the field. Stanton's definitive study of the campaign uniforms provides detailed documentation of the wide variety of solutions, both expedient and official, adopted in response to chronic shortages of suitable clothing and equipment. Of particular interest are the many illustrations and wartime photographs that make this book a valuable resource for collectors and modelers as well as students of the conflict. Although not an essential purchase for most libraries, Stanton's work will become the standard reference on this subject and should be acquired where needed.
