'The U.S. Enfield Bayonet' is,  indeed, a masterpiece of reference writing, far surpassing anything I  have tried to do. I am sure it will become the last and final word on  the subject of the Model 1917 bayonet and, to a great extent, on the  rifle also.”
     Gary M. Cunningham (United States of America)
Author, U.S. Knife Bayonets and Scabbards

"Highly  recommended to all bayonet enthusiasts and any warrior that ever  carried a bayonet. This book is a wonderful and detailed history of the  bayonet and its variations, and the many countries and servicemen it  served."

     Brigadier General R. Dennis Kerr - U.S. Army - Retired (United States of America)

"It  is a pleasure to support 'The U.S. Enfield Bayonet,' a project of depth  and effort unique to this bayonet's history. Dan Morrison has created a  superb volume on a bayonet that has honorably served the United States  military from 1917 into the 21st century."

"An excellent book... scholarly and well researched."
     Bruce Canfield (United States of America)

“The  first half of Morrison’s book provides a background on the development  and distribution of the American bayonet, at home and abroad.  The  second half of the book provides technical information to curators and  collectors on identifying bayonets and scabbards. Trench warfare during  the First World War made the standardization of bayonet fighting  critical, and Morrison expertly explores the development of these  training … The author’s passion for the subject and his mastery of the  material permeates this book.  An important read for collectors or those  interested in learning the impact of hardware on military culture."

     Major Casey Baker, U.S. Army (United States of America)

“Daniel  Morrison has taken one of the most iconic elements of military history  and finally given it the spotlight it deserves. His work on the Enfield  Bayonet is a key research document for both enthusiasts and scholars of  military historiography.  This work is a must for collectors, libraries,  war reenactors and researchers on one of the most historic advancements  in military weaponry.”

"A really enjoyable study. I particularly liked the use of the database and the 'human' aspects."
