This three volume set on World War II German swords by LTC (Ret.)
Thomas M. Johnson, a leading collector and authoritative
researcher, is a follow-up to his successful and highly acclaimed
four volume series on World War II German daggers by Schiffer
Publishing (1995). Johnson is the author of some twenty-six
reference books on the subject of German edged weaponry. This sword
series has been designed to aid not only the beginning collector,
but also the seasoned advanced collector and specialist. These
volumes are the result of many years of arduous research conducted
on both sides of the Atlantic, and are a scholarly study that is
more than a perfunctory annotation and illustration of the known
basis patterns. Also, the series is a study of a culture and the
crafts that actually produced the blades, as well as being a manual
in the art of collecting them. The embracing scope is both
educational and recreational, and adds a whole new dimension to
this popular collecting subject as a whole. Within these books one
finds the historical background, the manufacturing techniques,
constructional information, the actual basic patterns, variations
and rarities, and a whole host of salient facts of absorbing
interest.

For a generation the Lost Battalion exemplified the best of
America's involvement in World War I. Until World War II pushed the
Lost Battalion out of the national memory with its own scenes of
horror and heroism, mention of the unit's name summoned up what
America admired in its soldiers: unpretentious courage, dogged
resistance, and good cheer and adaptation under adversity. Thomas
M. Johnson was a newspaperman and author who covered World War I.
Fletcher Pratt was a historian and prolific author. Edward M.
Coffman is a professor emeritus of history at the University of
Wisconsin at Madison and the author of several books, including The
War to End All Wars: The American Military Experience in World War
I.
