20th Century Military Uniforms by Chris McNab is a visual and technical survey that catalogs 300 uniforms from armed forces around the world, tracing the evolution of combat, field, dress and parade dress across the modern era (1900–1999). Placed against the backdrop of major 20th‑century conflicts—from World War I and World War II to Cold War-era developments—the book offers cross‑national comparisons of insignia, headgear, webbing and basic equipment, illustrating how doctrine, technology and national identity shaped military dress.
Published in 2002 by Barnes & Noble (edition published by arrangement with Amber Books), this 320‑page illustrated reference (ISBN‑13: 9780760730942) functions as an encyclopedic pictorial guide: extensive color artwork, illustrated uniform plates and detailed figure captions document uniform detail for armies, navies and air forces worldwide. Designed for military history enthusiasts, collectors, modelers, re‑enactors and illustrators, it serves as a technical visual reference for uniform and insignia research.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
