All Hail Barsoom!
This is a classic treatment of a timeless pulp novel from the early 20th Century. No expense was spared in creating a whole world, and every penny shows on the screen. Please read Edgar Rice Burroughs if you consider yourself lucky to be an American. Then check out the old Johnny Weissmuller TARZAN movies, and this little masterpiece.

Reads Like a Book Report
The author of this book was a young man in fact still a minor when the Vietnam War ended. This book is his own exploration of the experience of the infantryman from before until after deployment to Vietnam. As such it is of mild academic interest only to those who have never experienced the military much less been in combat as this reader has.
To his credit the author did track down, interview and substantiate for the most part the stories of actual combat infantry veterans. To his credit he reports these interviews in a honest way much as if we were hearing from the men themselves.

The WORD
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this book from the author himself. It is truly a labor of love. thousands of metal, composition and plastic 'armymen' and not a few civilian, space and ancient-era figures 'Made in USA' are featured in hundreds of pictures on hundreds of pages. There is no other book like it. Use it as a starting point when valuing your figures to sell at auction, and you will not go wrong.
Remember, seeming glaring omissions of figutr=res by companies like Processed plastic, aka TIM MEE Toy, may be indicaztive of the ubiquitous nature of some armymen, made in the millions over many years.
