U.S. Military Vehicles Field Guide: World War II – Present surveys American ground vehicles from WWII track vehicles through Cold War designs to the Abrams main battle tank, offering a compact, identification‑focused narrative that pairs short development-and-use summaries with service‑era notes. Designed for history enthusiasts, modelers and novice collectors, the guide emphasizes practical recognition and context—showing how designs evolved across theaters and eras and explaining technical roles and variants rather than presenting a single chronological "story."
Author David Doyle compiles more than 200 color photographs and profile‑style images alongside clear, easy‑to‑read tables of technical specifications (weight, dimensions, speed, armament) and notes on collector market values, making the book a portable illustrated reference. Published by Krause Publications (ISBN 9780896892705), the field guide’s compact layout, model/variant identification features and service‑period coverage up to the early 21st century make it a handy resource for enthusiasts, restorers and auction‑room identification.

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.
