Críticas:

"Throughout the book are a superb collection of period photos and illustrations. This is all enhanced more by the superbly done uniform illustrations that makes this series so popular. It is another fascinating title and looks at a conflict few are truly aware took place. It is a very interesting read and can easily be recommended." --Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness

Reseña del editor:

The Chaco War was massive territorial war between Bolivia and Paraguay, which cost almost a 100,000 lives. An old fashioned territorial dispute, the contested area was the Gran Chaco Boreal, a 100,000-square mile region of swamp, jungle and pampas with isolated fortified towns. The wilderness terrain made operations difficult and costly as the war see-sawed between the two sides. Bolivian troops, under the command of a German general, Hans von Kundt, had early successes, but these stalled in the face of a massive mobilization programme by the Paraguans which saw their force increase in size ten-fold to 60,000 men. This book sheds light on a vicious territorial war that waged in the jungles and swamps of the Gran Chaco and is illustrated with rare photographs and especially commissioned artwork.
