Hi
I just picked up this book this morning from my local postoffice where the parcel and a couple others had been waiting to be picked up for several weeks unknown to me, no card left to say they had tried delivering.
Anyway to the book got from Hardcorps models covers as the title states USMC vehicles in Iraq, full of photos of Lav's AAV's and M1's closeups and in action, only recognised one of the pics. No humvees.
$50 plus P&P to the UK not cheap but i can recommend it if the Marines in Iraq is of interest, from their website further volumes are planned.
cheers
Peter

That book is probably the best reference for Modern Armor concerning the M1, LAV-25, and AAVP.
Large color photos and some great in action shots.
Worth $50 bucks? Probably not, but I got the references I need, and I'm not complaining.
