Camouflage: International Ground Force Patterns, 1946-2017
Eric H Larson
This is a comprehensive, accurate and academically-supported reference of all of the major military and paramilitary camouflage patterns that have been in use around the world from the end of World War II to today.
This book is a one-stop, generalized reference illustrating as many patterns as have been researched into the present time period. In addition to color tiles illustrating camouflage patterns it includes photographs of the designs actually being worn by military and paramilitary personnel, something few other references have done in suitable combination.

Life and Death on the Eastern Front: Rare Colour Photographs From the Second World War
Anthony Tucker-Jones, Ian Spring
This incredible visual record of life and death along the Eastern Front features more than 250 images from the PIXPAST Archive. Collated into three parts and organized thematically, the book begins with images of the ground war, including Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and the tanks, vehicles, weaponry and infantry on both sides. Moving into the war in the skies, the images depict aircraft in flight and on the ground, Luftwaffe personnel, and the destruction wrought from battle. And finally, the images take us behind the lines, to the prisoners of war, partisans, medics, the daily lives of soldiers and civilians along the front.
Accompanied by text by renowned author and commentator Anthony Tucker-Jones, these images offer a rare, often surprising insight into the realities of the Second World War and people caught up in it, in vivid color detail.

Radioman: Twenty-Five Years in the Marine Corps From Desert Storm to Operation Iraqi Freedom
Andrew Hesterman, Robert Einaudi
Begins with Andy as a recruit at boot camp and the ensuing training that leads to formally becoming a Marine. After comm school and the reserves, Andy is called to active duty in 1991 for the Gulf War, where he experiences combat up close in Kuwait. The next personally, professionally, and politically tumultuous decade brings marriage (and divorce), flight school and helicopter missions in Kosovo, the shock of 9/11, another marriage, and children. Andy's journey culminates as an officer in Iraq, where he directs air support for the Marines in Fallujah.
Co-authored by Robert Einaudi, a close friend of Hesterman's since high school, Radioman provides an honest and vivid military portrait of the Marine Corps and the modern U.S. military seen through the experiences of one Marine.
