M1 Abrams : Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War)

The M1 Abrams has been the principle main battle tank of the US military since 1980. Conceived to counter the threat of a massive Soviet armored incursion in Europe, the tank gained considerable fame during the Persian Gulf War of 1991, and its combat record has continued to climb.

With such a long service life, the Abrams has undergone continual improvements and upgrades, which are illustrated in great detail in this volume.
The unique features of the various models are detailed in stunning color photos, and the combat use of these fearsome vehicles is richly illustrated through previously unpublished photos.

M1 Abrams Tank (Images of War)

The M1 Abrams has proved itself to be the finest main battle tank in the World since its introduction into US Army service in 1981. It combines the ultimate balance between firepower, mobility and protection as demonstrated by its superior performance during the two Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. It routed the Soviet equipment of Saddam Hussein's army and today remains the yardstick by which friends' and foes' MBTs are judged.

Its versatility and continual modernisation of weaponry armour and engineering guarantees that the M1 Abrams will remain the US Army's spearpoint for years to come.
Expert author Michael Green has produced a comprehensive collection of images and highly informed text.
