The entry of the US into World War II provided the Allies with the
industrial might to finally take the war to German and Japanese
forces across the world. Central to this was the focus of the
American military industrial complex on the manufacture of tanks
and armoured fighting vehicles. Between 1939 and 1945, 88,140 tanks
and 18,620 other armored vehicles were built - almost twice the
number that Germany and Great Britain combined were able to supply.
In this lavishly illustrated volume, armour expert Michael Green
examines the dizzying array of machinery fielded by the US Army,
from the famed M4 Sherman, M3 Stuart and M3 Lee through to the
half-tracks, armored cars, self-propelled artillery, tank
destroyers, armored recovery vehicles and tracked landing vehicles
that provided the armoured fist that the Allies needed to break
Axis resistance in Europe and the Pacific.
Publishing in paperback
for the first time and packed with historical and contemporary
colour photography, this encyclopedic new study details the design,
development, and construction of these vehicles, their deployment
in battle and the impact that they had on the outcome of the war.
