Tanks in the Battle of the Bulge by Steven J. Zaloga provides a detailed analysis of the key tank types that fought in the Ardennes Campaign of December 1944-January 1945. The book offers a comprehensive survey of the principal tanks and tank-equivalents that took part in the battle, including their performance, lessons learned, and impact on subsequent tank design.

The book features specially commissioned artwork plates of the tanks involved, as well as technical data based on cutting-edge research. With a detailed overview of the campaign and an order of battle of the major armored units, this title is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of tank warfare during World War II.
