War Stories of the Tankers: American Armored Combat, 1918 to Today

Description

These are the war stories only a few can tell, the harrowing first hand accounts of armored combat, from the days of the century's first tanks to the latest encounters on the streets of Baghdad. Here are the vivid accounts of the brave young men who fought in the mud and trenches of no-man's land in World War 1; taking on the massive and virtually invulnerable German Tiger tanks, fighting through a sea of screaming Red Chinese soldiers in Korea, pitting tanks against the Viet Cong in Southeast Asia, battling in Desert Storm, and operational in Iraq at present - all taking that rare moment to tell us what it is like to face the enemy in tank warfare. With both historical depth and wide range of experiences, this is bound to appeal to any military reader, soldier, and tank enthusiast.
