The Yanks Are Coming! Firepower of the American Doughboy in World War One

248 pp. Color frontispiece. "In 1917, as the United States joined the fight against Germany and the Central Powers, the American Army had little to offer in terms of equipment or expertise. But by the fall of 1918, and the war's climactic battles, the American doughboys possessed more firepower than any other army on the battlefield. In this collection of more than 200 wartime images, photo collector Tom Laemlein examines the weapons of the Americans in the trenches, the guns that provided the catalyst for ultimate victory in the Great War."
