As someone who is researching and selling reproduction panzer uniforms, I still find much of value in this book. Pruett and Edwards have done excellent work in the field of panzer uniforms, but their volumes are expensive and not everyone needs to invest in that kind of volume to get the very basics which this book provides. Colour plates are very appealing. Artwork is a bit murky - no hard dileneations such as in Volstad's paintings with deliberate black outlines, but poses are very good as is colour. Some fine recreated portrait shots show a wide array of uniform types and details. Writing is good and concentrates on many general subjects, going into appropriate levels of detail such as when the complex collar patch situation for anti-tank and self-propelled units are discussed. Good sketch histories; another good source for panzer division histories may be PANZER COLORS II, but there is more detail in MAA 24 regarding historical employment. Some fine photos complement the text and make this a good overall treatment which really doesn't show its age all that much. Stands up just fine with other books on the subject.
