World War II US Cavalry Units: Pacific Theater was a fine tribute to the cavalry troops, and it documented the start of their modernization in the WW2-era concisely.

In this book in the Elite series, author Gordon Rottman takes a look at the pre-war disposition of US cavalry units and their organization. Then the book goes into how these units operated during the war, with particular attention given to the 26th Cavalry Regiment, the Texan National Guard units that fought in the Southwest Pacific and in the Burma theathers, as well as the 1st Cavalry Division (Special) and its operations in the Philippines late in the war. All of this is superbly illustrated by artist Peter Dennis and by a fine collection of period photographs. As this series is as much a uniforms and equipment  book as it is a history, that aspect is covered as well. In all, a fascinating look at portion of US military history that is often overlooked.
