Description
American Armor in the Pacific by Mike Guardia explores the pivotal role of US Army and Marine Corps' armor operations during World War II's Pacific Campaign. From 1942 to 1945, over twenty major tank battles and operations showcased the effectiveness of tanks in supporting infantry units, with notable engagements including Tarawa and the Bougainville Campaign. This book delves into the strategies and tactics employed by both American and Japanese armored forces, providing detailed information on development, equipment, capabilities, organization, and order of battle. By examining first-person accounts and the Pacific theater, Guardia sheds light on how American armor was successfully employed in this critical region of war. With a focus on the operational history of US armor during the Pacific Campaign, American Armor in the Pacific offers a comprehensive look at this often-overlooked aspect of World War II.
