My M1 does my talking.
The widely acclaimed photographic history of the imcomporable M1 Garand Rifle in US & allied service has recently completed its 3rd printing. #1 Weapons in Pictures Series. 300+ military archive B&W & color images; 7x10 inches, 81 pgs

The title of this book is borrowed from artist Jes Schlaikjer's 1945 poster. He, in turn, seems to have borrowed the words form John C. Garand himself. By all accounts a quiet and modest man, Garand did not enjoy the spotlight of wartime publicity. Pressed by a reported to comment on his monumental contributions to the war effort, he is said to have replied, "My gun speaks loud enough for both of us." Indeed it did, in every corner of the world.
