This is the brand new 4th version of this book! 
 
The re-enacting / living history world is at last starting to have some books made just for them... this being the first of its kind, focusing on what we re-enactors need to know, rather than just picking out odd snippets from history books.
 
This contains everything you need to know to do an enlisted man impression for a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division during their time in Normandy 1944.
 
This focuses mainly around the rifleman role, but does also touch upon NCOs ranks. It also covers the TO&E and what  equipment everyone should (and shouldn't) have. I'm sure lots will be disappointed that they shouldn't all be carrying M1911s in shoulder holsters, chomping on big fat cigars, all driving jeeps and dressing spotlessly clean... so if you're one of 'those' sorts of re-enactors, please don't buy this book! However, if you're seeking to improve your impression or looking at getting into this hobby - then this is the reference guide for you. 
 
Over 260 pages, full colour through the book, a solid hardback with a nice silk page marking ribbon. Packed with lots more information and some unnecessary bits cut out. The whole  book is in full colour, so it looks great, but that does increase the cost over one that's in greyscale. The book has had to have a slight price increase, because of all the extra pages, but I'm still doing my best to keep the price down.
