A thorough and first-rate work on an aspect of the war very few of us ever spare a thought for, let alone know anything about. This well written book gives a most fascinating insight into the logistical effort required to fight the war, from sourcing raw materials through to manufacture and supply. Together with first-hand accounts, and using official documents and archive records, the reader is drawn into the past to achieve a better understanding of their ancestors' uniforms and what it took to create and wear them.
[b]Highly recommended. 10/10[/b]

My knowledge of the pharaohs is limited to what I originally read in the Bible and various BBC documentaries on Ancient Egypt I've watched over the years, together with some of the magnificent Dorling Kindersley history books that have come my way. Garry Shaw's book is something of a revelation, a different way of looking at what we know about the Ancient Egyptians and their amazing culture.
