Each volume concentrates on a certain area of the army, be it planning, strategy, transportation, offense, defense, medical, logistics, aftermath - etc. Each volume is written to complement but not necessarily follow-on from others and is roughly broken down into 12 areas:-A) War DepartmentB) Army Ground ForcesC) Army Service ForcesD) Western HemisphereE) War in the PacificF) Mediterranean TheatreG) European TheatreH) Middle East TheatreI) China-Burma-India TheatreJ) Technical ServicesK) Special StudiesL) Pictorial RecordAll come with matte covers and have some wear and tear as you would expect of books this age, though we have priced them all at the same rate for any collectors missing a certain edition, unless they are of notable lower quality then this is reflected in the price. Please refer to photos for the exact titles as we are limited to 20 characters!
