The building of the American Army in World War II from a tiny, outdated & ill-equipped force into one of the mightiest armies of the world was described by Sir Winston Churchill as being a “prodigy of organization.” A marvelously well-equipped army, thanks to American inventiveness, know-how, & technological prowess, by 1945 it led the world in weaponry, strategic mobility & logistic capabilities. This unique & fascinating study details the organization, structure & equipment of the US Army in World War II -- everything from weapons to tactics, markings to camouflage, & rations to radio sets. Also covers military symbology, field orders & sample battle orders. Fully illustrated with over 200 varied & exciting selection of contemporary action shots.
