While no book can really cover WWII with 300 colour plates, this book does a great job of covering the whole century. With plates for Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, the Arab Israeli Wars and all the other late century wars, this book does a great job of being a reliable source for the Gamer and Modeller. A lot of WWII and WWI plates as well. I think this is a basic book for any military enthusiast's collection.
