Detailed appendices provide vehicle specifications and manufacturing details, while comparative tables allow the reader to make at-a-glance assessments of how the Sherman matched up to its rivals on both sides. Authoritatively written and featuring 70 colour and black-&-white photographs, fully annotated colour cutaway and three-view profile artworks, Sherman Tank tells the story of one of World War II’s most important tanks.
