With detailed colour plates and contemporary photographs, this book examines the soldiers and revolutionaries that fought in the conflicts of early 20th-century Latin America.
Philip Jowett was born in Leeds in 1961, and has been
interested in military history for as long as he can remember. His
first Osprey book was the ground-breaking Men-at-Arms 306: Chinese
Civil War Armies 1911–49; he has since published the three-part
sequence The Italian Army 1940–45 (Men-at-Arms 340, 349 and 353).
He lives in North Lincolnshire, UK.
Stephen Walsh studied art at the North East Wales Institute
and has worked as a professional illustrator since 1988. Since then
he has illustrated a variety of books and games including Settlers
of Catan. His projects for Osprey include such diverse subjects as
the battle of Otterburn, the Chinese army from 1937 to 1949, and
the US Home Front in World War II.
"...highly recommended for its historical content and comprehensive coverage of the turbulent years between 1900 and 1941. Further, the photographs, and in particular, the color plates will be a valuable resource for those who model figures." --IPMS / USA
