Reviews for New Guinea: The Allied Jungle Campaign in World War II (Stackpole Military Photo Series)
As usual with this series it is packed full of good clear archive photos, giving an excellent insight into the campaign … The variety of the images is fascinating and the limited visibility of fighting in a jungle is obvious from so many of them.
