DESCRIPTION:
A Customer said Best small unit armor battle narrative I've read.. A very good read. Mr. Forty gives details on armored combat that you don't get any where else. I've not read non fictional narratives with this detail very often. You might see one such narrative in a book concerning larger scale engagementsbut Mr. Forty provides many separate narratives. Worth every penny I paid.
Supported by a vast array of photographs, maps, and line drawings, here is a comprehensive and carefully crafted evocation of life at the sharp end of tank warfare, as seen from the dramatic perspective of the tank crews themselves.. This is a detailed look at 42 individual low-level battles spanning 80 years of armored warfare, chosen from as many different scenarios as possible, so that details of less well-known actions are not overshadowed by the more famous. Emphasis is given to the individual tank commanders involved, but without the crew he is unable to engage and destroy the enemy
