    New book on the Tank Destroyer training at Camp Hood

    First a disclaimer (I wrote this book).
    After obtaining the personal collection of the Camp Hood Post Commander I realized it contained a wealth of images and info. So I contacted Arcadia publishing and Voila a book was born. If one is interested in the training methods and stateside buildup of the Army at the beginning of WW2 this is a good source.
    It is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and the Arcadia site. Check it out. A lot of research and tons of pics (180) covering Camp Hood from 1942 to 1945.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
