Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, 1954. Revised Edition. Hardcover. Format is approximately 9.25 inches by 12.25 inches. 32 color plates. Some endpaper discoloration. Some cover soiling. The first edition was published in 1941. The new edition has been considerably revised. In the first place, the final plates of the first edition showed types of soldiers in the experimental kits of 1940 and 1942--kits which were, in some cases, widely revised before the armies entered combat. It was thought desirable to replace these with drawings of the uniforms U.S. troops actually wore in the field and in general to bring the book up to date. This has been done, and the opportunity was enlarged upon to add a few more of the older types of uniforms that played important roles in U.S. military history. Additionally, reference sources unknown in 1941 to the author and artist have been exploited in the intervening years. The body of knowledge on military dress and accoutrements in particular has been enlarged tremendously. This is as much a new book as a reprint of the older one. More
New York: Dutton, 1997. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 24 cm. [10], 370, [4] pages. Acid-free paper. Lucian King Truscott IV (born April 11, 1947) is an American writer and journalist. A former staff writer for The Village Voice, he is the author of several military-themes novels including Dress Gray, which was adapted into a 1986 television film of the same name. Truscott was born in Japan to US Army Colonel Lucian K. Truscott III and Anne (née Harloe). His grandfather Lucian Jr. was a US Army general during World War II where he commanded the 3rd Infantry Division and later the Fifth Army in Italy. Truscott attended the United States Military Academy, graduating in 1969. In 1968, Truscott and other cadets challenged the required attendance at chapel services. Later a court case filed by another cadet along with midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy resulted in a 1972 US Court of Appeals decision (and upheld by the Supreme Court) that ended mandatory chapel attendance at all of the service academies. He was then assigned to Fort Carson, Colorado. More
