Pershing: A History of the Medium Tank T20 Series

by R.P. Hunnicutt, Robert J. Icks (Foreword), Uwe Feist (Contributor)

During World War II, combat experience proved that the American Sherman tank was no match for the best of Germany's tanks like the Panther or Tiger. Almost three years of development produced the T26E3 Pershing, which entered battle in the final months of the war in Europe. This book relies on hundreds of photos, color illustrations, and scale drawings to tell the history of this impressive American tank.

Reviews

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent work, all of Hunnicutt's books on American armoured vehicles are worth reading. This one is more narrow in its focus than most, but is no less worth reading for that.
