This book brings a unique perspective to this previously unexplored
topic of desert combat uniforms and patches with the authors' extensive
knowledge of military history combined with a total of over 50 years of
military experience. In this extraordinary comprehensive reference book,
they provide a detailed picture of desert uniforms, patches, and
insignia worn by the US Armed Forces in combat from Desert Storm,
through Somalia and in the more recent hard fought campaigns of Iraq and
Afghanistan. The sum of the extensive information gathered here on Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard units that wore the
desert uniform is not available anywhere else. Calling upon original
source documents and extensive public and private collections, the
authors have painstakingly assembled detailed research that will serve
veterans, historians, collectors, and reenactors for years to come as
the definitive reference on this topic.
