Edited by Dr. John Pimlott and Adrian Gilbert, with illustrations by Malcolm McGregor, the book details the evolution of combat dress, personal kit, and weaponry across dozens of nations and theatres of conflict, offering an authoritative survey of how the modern warrior was equipped and outfitted across decades of changing warfare.\n\nBeyond its meticulous cataloguing of uniforms and gear, the work argues that a soldier's equipment is a direct reflection of military doctrine, national identity, and the brutal pragmatism of modern conflict. Pimlott and Gilbert bring scholarly rigour to a subject that sits at the crossroads of military history and material culture, while McGregor's illustrations lend a vivid, almost visceral accuracy to each figure depicted. Whether you are a military historian, a modeller, or simply a curious reader, this richly detailed reference invites you to ask a deceptively simple question: what does it truly mean to be a fighting man in the modern age?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50620326969563,"sku":"9781851550364-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3a5882c3-a793-4391-b48b-3e1ee80022a0.png?v=1791873356","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781851550364-secondhand-modern-fighting-men-uniforms-and-equipment-since-world-war-ii","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
