An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Uniforms of World War I

An expert guide to the uniforms of Britain, France, Russia, America, Germany and Austria-Hungary with over 650 colour illustrations

• An unparalleled visual catalogue of the uniforms of Britain, France, Russia, America, Germany and Austria-Hungary, with additional detail on the armies of Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Serbia, the Ottomans, Japan and others

• A definitive analysis of the command structures of the armies, and the deployment, tactics and motivation of these national forces, as well as fascinating detail of day-to-day life for the soldiers

• An insightful introduction gives a concise, account of the war, setting out its political and social background • Illustrations also include contemporaneous photographs and dramatic fine art paintings, which bring to life the experience of the soldiers on campaign

The war of 1914-1918 was a military, political and social disaster. No other war changed the map of Europe so drastically, and more than 15 million people were killed. The dramatic political and social changes of the period were mirrored in the uniforms of the armed forces, and the contrast between pre-war Europe and 1919 could not be more apparent. This unique illustrated book charts the developments in military uniform in fascinating detail: how the reds and blues of 1900 soldiers gave way to the less conspicuous browns, greys and greens. It also tracks the evolution of hardware and ammunition. Evocative photographs of the struggle and stunning illustrations of the uniforms show in detail the changes, reforms and modifications of all the major powers, Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary. This unprecedented volume is an incredible visual study of the uniforms of a pivotal period of military history, and of its context.
