Sobre este artículo

Philadelphia and Oxford: Casemate, 2013. New and unread in near PERFECT condition (only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear -- like you sometimes find in any new book store). Bright and shiny. Flat, uncreased spine. NO chips, tears or fading. Square and tight. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. Well illustrated in b/w and brilliant full color. 6.5" wide by 9.5" tall. Bound in the original full color pictorial wraps. From the rear cover: "Originally published in 2006 and selling through three printings, this invaluable guide has been revised and updated for a new edition. In this work, leading military historian and researcher, Jonathan Gawne, explains and shares the techniques he uses to research archives, libraries, veteran associations, and myriad other sources of information to track down wartime careers. The book provides an overview of the Army in World War II, from the basics up. It goes on to explain how to find information from such sources as discharges, uniforms, paperwork, the National Personnel Records Center, National Archives, other facilities, and what you can expect from veterans organizations (and how to find them). The book also helps you to assemble the data you have collected and piece together the story of your relatives' wartime service. Detailed appendices also give information on such things as insignia of ranks and branches, listing of common MOS's, a breakdown of each division by sub unit, with a brief history and a listing of their campaigns, a capsule history of each campaign, and a bibliography of useful books on various campaigns and units. Color illustrations of campaign ribbons, decorations, insignia, and rare photos accompany the detailed text. Table of Contents: Introduction to the Second Edition; The War in a Nutshell; SECTION 1: Introduction to Army Units; Background information on the composition of the World War II US Army; SECTION 2: Individual Records; The various Army records pertaining to an individual soldier; SECTION 3: Organizational Records; The Army's records of what a man's unit did during the war; SECTION 4: Finding Records; Places around the country where you can find records of your soldier's service; SECTION 5: Introduction to Army Units; Identifying what you may already have and what it can tell you about your relative's service. APPENDICES: Appendix A: The Infantry and Airborne Divisions in World War II; Appendix B: The Armored and Cavalry Divisions in World War II; Appendix C: Army Groups, Armies, and Corps in World War II; Appendix D: Major Army Commands of World War II; Appendix E: The Army Air Forces in World War II; Appendix F: Vehicle Markings in World War II; Appendix G: The Campaigns of World War II; Appendix H: Official Abbreviations Used in World War II; Appendix I: The Green Books and Select Bibliography; Appendix J: Separation Qualification Record; Appendix K: Concentration Camp "Liberator" Units; Appendix L: Common MOS Definitions.". Second Edition, Revised and Expanded. Softcover. New condition. x, 358pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
