The 8th Army Air Force in Color: As Seen Through The Eyes of Kodak Film by Nathan Howland This book showcases a comprehensive catalog of restored WWII color Kodachrome slides.

These images age with time, and vast numbers were stored in conditions not always conducive to long-term preservation. The restoration and preservation of these images is vital so that future generations can not only experience the paradox of beauty in wartime, but get a vibrant feeling and sense of the 8th AF's involvement in the conflict with clarity, as the photographers intended.
Soviet and Mujahideen Uniforms, Clothing, and Equipment in the Soviet-Afghan War, 1979-1989 by Zammis Schein This book is the first detailed, illustrated guide to the military uniforms, civilian clothing, and equipment worn and used by Soviet soldiers and Mujahideen warriors in Afghanistan from December 1979 to February 1989. With over 500 images, this book presents front-line soldiers, NCOs, and officers in the main combat branches of the Soviet armed forces as well as Mujahideen warriors, actually ordinary Afghans, who were thrust by fate into the midst of a relentless guerrilla war against one of the largest regular armies in the world.

All photographs taken for this book are genuine service-issue or private-purchase Soviet and Afghan Mujahideen items.
