Reviews

"Michael Green's American Tanks & AFVS Of World War II comes from an armor expert who examines the machinery of the U.S. Army from Sherman tanks to tank destroyers and landing vehicles. Vintage and modern color photos accompany a study of all the vehicles and their battle history and impact, making for a definitive survey filled with illustration and insight: a 'must' for any military collection strong in World War II events and processes." --James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review (October 2014) "...a high quality hardbound book which provides an excellent overview of US AFV production and deployment throughout the Second War World in all theaters of operation." --www.amps-armor.org (September 8, 2014)
