Description
US Battle Tanks 1917-1945 by Steven J. Zaloga is a comprehensive and detailed illustrated examination of the development and combat performance of US battle tanks from World War I to the end of World War II. This first volume in a two-part series explores the history of US Army and US Marine Corps battle tanks, from early experiments with armored vehicles to the end of World War II. The book delves into the concepts and practice of tank development, covering the Renault FT, the M4 Sherman, and the M26 Pershing, among others. It also examines the experiences of crews who saw combat, the performance of each tank in battle, and the lessons learned from combat that led to new concepts and technological breakthroughs. Published in association with the AUSA Book Program, this book offers a unique insight into the history of US Army heritage, military theory, and policy, and security in the modern world.
