Purchase options and add-ons

When World War II broke out in September 1939 the US Army – starved of resources since 1919 – numbered just 174,000 men. By VJ-Day, 2 September 1945, a total of 8.3 million had served in an army which had risen to a stable strength of 91 divisions. The Army's contribution to the war against Japan – 20 divisions and numerous smaller units – has tended to be overshadowed by the exploits of the much smaller Marine Corps. This first of three titles describes the organisation, uniforms and equipment of the US Army in the CBI and the Central and South-West Pacific from 1941 to 1945.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good look at what the soldier wore, fought with and ate.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017

    This Osprey product has the usual, excellent black-and-white pictures, illustrations and color plates one can expect from an Osprey book. In this title, "The US Army of World War II (1) The Pacific", author Mark Henry focuses on the army soldier in the Pacific.

    The author gives the reader an idea of what American soldiers wore, what they ate, how they carried their gear on their bodies and the weapons they used. I think there's a lot of useful information in this volume. The one-piece, "frogskin" camouflage uniforms came as a surprise to me. Basically a good primer on the US soldier in the Pacific - apart from the Marines who are not included.

    Now, I would have liked more pictures of the individual uniform types - including the one-piece "frogskin" - and I would have liked color pictures of the rations (lots of people would like to see what was included in these meals), but, on the whole a good look at the basic personal equipment of the Army soldier.

    Another excellent Osprey book. The color plates are great, and this book is very informative. My dad was a WW2 US Army Pacific vet. He passed away a few years ago. I wish he could have seen this book; he would have loved it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Basic overview
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Kindle version. The text provides a basic overview of the U.S. Army in the Pacific which is helpful but lacking in detail. There is not much about the U.S. Army's Pacific uniforms out there. Every uniform and equipment book I have covers Europe with little more than a nod to the Pacific...if at all. The downside to the Kindle version is that the color plates show in black-and-white which is not very helpful.
