Summary: I have no idea what multitudinous means...
Comment: ...but I would probably just say "many".
Unlike Carter Rila, the author of this book is direct and to the point. A very good overview of US forces, weapons, equipment and uniforms in one nifty volume. Not a detailed guide by any means, and only a starting point for serious research - but as a quick and dirty guide to US troops in the Med, a nice little book.
Chappel's artwork is excellent; it was a shame the Singapore version shipped with charcoal sketches by the publisher's son. The Chappel prints are much nicer.

Summary: Great Improvement on Earlier Works in this Series
Comment: This book is part of a set covering the US Army of WW II. Compared to the earlier volumes published by Osprey, it is an A compared to a D. The other volumes were superficial and suffered either from trying to cover too much or too long a period or written by authors who simply were not familiar enough with the period covered.
This one is written by a knowledgable author and is superbly illustrated by the magnificent Mike Chappell. Drawing on multitudinous sources, these three volumes will satisfy those who want to know what grandaddy looked like in the war and give a useful overview for those not needing more detailed knowledge.
As a long time specialist in the period, I learned things and recommend this highly.
See my reviews of the other two volumes in this set.

Summary: Suspect info
Comment: This book may not be what it seems, judging by the cover. The artwork attributed to M Chappell does not look like it was done by him. It looks bad.
There is another related book by the same two authors in this series where the front cover again purports to show artwork by M Chappell but the artwork is clearly by another well-known artist R Volstad.
