This four volume set by Thomas M. Johnson, a leading collector and authoritative researcher, has been compiled to serve as a useful and authoritative reference on the daggers of Nazi Germany, and have 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 basic 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 it adds a whole new dimension to this popular collecting subject as a whole. Within these books one will see coverage of the historical background; the manufacturing techniques; constructional information; the actual basic patterns; variations and rarities; the art of collecting, and a whole host of other salient facts of absorbing interest.

"[In October 1918] the Seventy-seventh American Division attacked in the Argonne. One mixed battalion of companies from two regiments got as far as it could. Germans closed in the rear, surrounding 600 men. Six days later, after incredible hardships, the wounded and an unharmed 194 were relieved... [The authors] have reconstructed every dramatic hour of the six-day siege... Correcting myths, cleaning up official whitewashes, Johnson and Pratt succeed in telling a more dramatic story than all the myths and official embroideries put together." - New York Times-"The reissuing of this classic book ... is to be welcomed by students of the First World War and those with a general interest in warfare and the fighting man... Written by a journalist who covered the war and a historian of some repute this book ... is a detailed account of a remarkable series of events. The pace of the writing will keep the reader turning the pages for more, but the book is more than just an adventure yarn. Indeed, its relevance to the modern officer is obvious as its incisive observations about leadership, motivation and morale still have much contemporary relevance."-The Wish Stream, Vol 54, Summer 2000
