The book provides good information on the background, organization, and composition of various military units and would be especially useful for the novice who knows nothing about military organizations.
Other chapters discuss the various records produced and how to find them. The author provides good insight to access public records at locations such as NARA in St Louis and the Carlisle Barracks and give good tips on what to expect from the staff. Also included are addresses, both brick and mortar and electronic of all the locations where pertinent records might be found.
All in all, I consider this valuable resource for the individual researching their ancestor wartime experience and would especially useful for the novice who would not even know where to start.
Also, throughout the book, there are additional books and reference materials listed in text boxes. Some of the books, I am familiar with and they are excellent resources themselves, so I suspect the other listed books are also.
10/10 A must for the novice researcher and a good addition for the knowledgeable historian.… (plus d'informations)
