In September 1944 Hitler ordered an attack on Gen. George Patton's
Third Army, which was deep inside France making for the Rhine and
threatening the German industrial heartland beyond. The ensuing
battle near Arracourt--the U.S. Army's largest tank-versus-tank
clash until the Bulge--went badly for the Germans, who committed
their armor piecemeal and whose offensive was shattered in a series
of intense, close-range tank duels with the Americans. Armor expert
Steven Zaloga deftly reconstructs the battle and shows how American
Sherman tanks bested superior German Panthers. Features legendary
panzer general Hasso von Manteuffel and U.S. commanders John "Tiger
Jack" Wood ("America's Rommel") and Creighton Abrams (namesake of
the M1 Abrams tank). Thoroughly researched narrative draws on newly
discovered American and German records that provide unprecedented
detail.
