Media reviews

"This 48-page book examines the diverse and sometimes colorful uniforms and exotic
regional costumes ... Special attention is paid to equipment, insignia and weapons during this intriguing period of transition from the 19th to 20th Century.
Fascinating details, photographs and illustrations, including color plates by Stephen Walsh, provide plenty of hobby project inspirations for anyone interested in this prelude to World War I. Plus, toy soldier collectors can learn the backstory behind some sets of old Britains and figures being produced by modern makers such as Beau Geste." -Toy Soldier & Model Figure (August 2011)
