No personal, professional, academic, or community library military collection can be considered complete without the inclusion of Bruce Canfield's U.S. Infantry Weapons of the First World War.

Summary: A must have!
Review: This is a MUST HAVE for anyone who is interested in the weapons used by the American Doughboy during the Great War. A complete and comprehensive guide that covers everything from bladed weapons to trench mortars. I can't recommend it enough.
