The book seemed to be conceived backwards: start with pictures already collected and write around them rather than asking questions and setting out to answer them.My particular interests are the trucks and the Service of Supply so I arrived expecting a history of military vehicles to include discussion of sourcing, shipping them to France, operating them, and the organization supporting those activities. Shutout.Overall, enjoyable to dip into--like a Richard Scarry book for grownups. ### ⭐ A Catalogue of Mediocrity. *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2011* I cannot speak on the veracity of the American references in Mr. Mroz's book. One assumes that an author does the necessary research, interprets his findings correctly, and incorporates his conclusions in the finished work. One hopes that that applies to the areas covered in this book of which I have no knowledge. However, one is not encouraged to believe that this is the case when it comes to Mr. Mroz's account of the development of the Tank. In more than thirty years of studying the subject I have not come across a supposedly authoritative work by an author above school age that is so ill-informed and inaccurate.The British Tank designers did not consult with the Holt Caterpillar Tractor Company at any point during the development; they were merely inspired by the Holt Tractors they had seen in use by the Austro-Hungarian and British armies. That is what Swinton later acknowledged. The Holt also influenced French and German Tank designers. The photograph of a Holt is not "a British tractor captured by the Germans"; it is an Austrian Holt serving in Belgium - with a soldier in Austrian uniform walking alongside. No Americans were involved in the creation of the prototype "Little Willie"; America was not in the War, and the British didn't even involve their French allies until nearly a year later. Albert Stern does not omit to mention the presence of Americans at the trials of the first tanks; none was present. Stern did not "invite the Navy"; he was in the Navy. The Landships Committee was created by Churchill when he was First Lord of the Admiralty (head of the Navy) and Stern and other members were already in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, having served as part of a Royal Naval Air Service unit that Churchill had established earlier.The list of garbled information is long. I don't have the time to list it all. The misprints do not help, either. Lord Kirchener? "Sons of Grantham"? It all adds to the shoddiness of this book.It could be that some aspects of it are accurate and complete. I cannot tell. But a sizeable section of it is slipshod, shallow, badly-researched, and, one suspects, highly Wikipedia-dependent. As a school project it might receive 4 out of 10. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ synopsis *by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2010* Good condensation of W.W.I history by way of American industry overview. The vehicles covered include all types at a time when the automotive and gasoline engine industry was in its infancy. Chapter on the Industrial Revolution puts things into perspective. Chronological listing of major W.W.I events and good index rounds out this thorough effort. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/10907725-american-military-vehicles-of-world-war-i-an-illustrated-history](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/10907725-american-military-vehicles-of-world-war-i-an-illustrated-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
