The M1 Garand, a legendary .30-caliber semiautomatic rifle, served as the standard US service rifle during WWII and Korea. Over five million units were produced from 1937 to 1945, and it was used by more than 50 countries, seeing combat until the 1970s. Gen. George S. Patton hailed it as “the greatest battle implement ever devised.” Today, it remains an essential weapon for the US Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon. The book showcases its design, variants, accessories like magazines and cleaning kits, and features stunning period photographs and detailed imagery.
