Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Jeff Warner has in this Schiffer series of books on the Naval Services' uniforms, equipment and insignia made an indelible and permanent contribution to the reference literature on the subject matter. In fact, it is the ONLY reference work on the subject, due to collector indifference. Mr. Warner labored two+ years on the writing and composition of this and the other volumes, something which neither of the two other reviewers below are either capable of or willing to do. It's easy to carp, it's hard to give birth to something as monumental as Mr. Warner's series of books. In doing the book with Schiffer, he surrendered total editorial control over the content and composition of the book, including the rendition of the photographs he personally composed and took or obtained from NARA. As for the carping about the UDT teams' factual history, it should be noted that the material dealing with them was a VERBATIM "after action report" from the National Archives, without comment by Mr. Warner or intent for it to be a definitive account. Perhaps Mr. O'Dell should take his obviosuly superior PhD knowledge of the subject and produce himself a work worthy of those already recently done on Draper Kauffman and the UDT teams. Until then, he should keep his pontificating caveling to himself!
