All of the work done by this author has proven to be well worth having, provided you have an interest. He has spent many years gathering and interpreting his information. One of his specialties is combing various works for narrative commentary. He is especially known for ferreting out contemporaneous images of the clothing and equipment in use.These works range from the simple picture studies in the G.I. series, and the Osprey Men At Arms to definitive massive studies such as this. If you collect or research these periods you need to have his works.
Great book! Just what I've been looking for as I need some ideas to individualize my Civil War Generals uniform and still stay true to the period accessories. Nice price for a hard bound book.
Excelent book. A great and complete study of J. P. Langellier in the blue uniform era, with some photographs. Impressive.
Great Reference book, A1
