US Battle Tanks 1946–2025 Hardback
by Steven J. (Author) Zaloga
Hardback
Description
A comprehensive and detailed illustrated examination of the development and combat performance of US battle tanks from the end of World War II through to the present day.??In this, the second of two highly illustrated volumes telling the full history of the design, development and operational use of US Army and US Marine Corps battle tanks, Steven J.
Zaloga draws and expands on material published in Osprey’s New Vanguard and Duel series to explain how the US Army attempted to come to grips with the challenges of the nuclear battlefield, as well as the introduction of new tank designs such as the famous Patton tank series.
He also covers the short-lived attempts to develop more radical tanks such as the T95 as well as the overly ambitious and failed MBT-70 tank program and the more austere M1 Abrams that followed – a tank that proved to be the best US tank design of the post-World War II period and is still in service today. Packed with dozens of intricate color profiles and isometric views, vivid battlescene artworks, technical illustrations, and superbly clear period photographs, this work provides a wide-ranging and essential reference for the tanks and machines at the cutting edge of armored warfare. Published in association with the AUSA Book Program, offering quality books about US Army heritage, military theory and policy, and security in the modern world.
