There really isn't much to read, and it isn't new (it came out in 2006). It is a picture book with very nice full-page period photos. I have both the M1 Garand and the Carbine volumes.
Sample of the photos in the M1 Garand volume:
I have this book. I bought when it first came out. It is a fantastic one with photos I have never seen before. If you like well photographed books on the Garand this is one to get!
looks like I will have to by it
Well worth every cent for both the Carbine and Garand books
If you like WW2 the whole series would be worth it

There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
There`s a couple more ruined Garand barrels ;-)
I have the Garand and carbine books, its just surprising he doesnt point out the pics of early gas traps, when theyre shown in use, or type 1 carbine stocks.

No, but I did read "The Last Stand of Fox Company," a new one on the Marine Chosin Reservoir battle. It will be reviewed in the next GCA Journal. Fantastic.
I read a bit of this book at "Books-A-Million. It's a must read, I will be going back tomorrow to buy it. Hector A. Cafferata of F-2-7 was awarded the Medal of Honor at "Fox Hill" -. His story is in this book. Marine Cafferata is doing well and living in S.W. Florida. Semper Fi, JoeOriginally Posted by Bob Seijas
