Since its introduction in 1981, at the height of the Cold War, the
Abrams main battle tank has been one of the most visible and iconic
symbols of American military power, and it is the fascinating
subject of this heavily illustrated historical and modelling guide
in the TankCraft series by David Grummitt. Designed to meet head-on
the massed tank forces of the Warsaw Pact, its combat debut in fact
came in a different scenario in 1991 during the First Gulf War.
Since then it has served in the peace-keeping role in the former
Yugoslavia and seen combat in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen. It has
gone through a series of modifications and modernizations that see
it set to remain the backbone of the US Army until at least 2050.
As well as charting the development and combat history of the
vehicle, the book is illustrated throughout with colour photos and
specially commissioned colour profiles. Five different models,
covering the service history of the Abrams, are featured, as is
modeller's guide to the existing kits and accessories in the all
the popular scales.
