The book focuses on photographic studies of the weaponry and gear used by American troops in WWI, offering a visual supplement to traditional textual research. The reviewer highlights how the book brings a human perspective to the era and provides insights into lesser-known aspects, such as the use of shotguns and potential censorship surrounding them, by showcasing photographic evidence from training camps to front-line combat.
