Description

Using war time documents just revealed at the time, Steven Zaloga sheds light on the crucial tank battles of the Korean War as the finest tanks of the rival superpowers' battled for supremacy.

A hotly-debated topic amongst tank buffs is of the relative merits of the Soviet and American tanks of World War II. The Soviet-equipped North Korean Peoples Army initially dominated the battlefield with the seemingly unstoppable T34-85. As US tank battalions hastily arrived throughout the late summer and early autumn of 1950, the M26 Pershing took the fight to North Korea with increasing success.

Featuring illustrations throughout, this match-up between the two titans of World War II on the battlefields of Korea is ideal for all armor enthusiasts.
