Packed with specially commissioned artwork, maps and diagrams, the Men-at-Arms series is an unrivalled illustrated reference on the history, organisation, uniforms and equipment of the world's military forces, past and present.
When the USA entered World War I in April 1917 her Regular Army counted just 128,000 men and lacked all the necessary equipment and training for modern trench warfare. By the Armistice of November 1918, General John J.Pershing's American Expeditionary Force in France had more than 2 million men and was holding 25 per cent of the Western Front. They had helped smash Ludendorff's brilliant Operation "Michael" in the lines before Paris; had turned onto the offensive themselves at St Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne; and if Germany had not negotiated peace with unexpected speed the US Army would have taken over from their tired Allies an even greater share of the planned 1919 campaign. This concise account of America's first world class army, its organization, uniforms, weapons and character, is illustrated with rare photos and eight full color plates.

To compound things, the book fails to include a bibliography where you might find additional reading on the subject matter. From the first page to the last it's a roller-coaster ride that I would recommend to every reader who loves high adventure.. Boston Public on FOX) and wants to see or read a real and true story that they can affirm by experience is the type of everyday event that they have witnessed and is still compelling.. Get this book, settle in and relax, and prepare to enjoy yourself immensely.. I’m n
