US Battle Tanks 1946-2025

This second volume of a two-part illustrated history covers the design, development, and use of US Army and US Marine Corps battle tanks from the end of World War II to the present. Military historian Steven J. Zaloga examines how the US adapted its armored forces during the Cold War and beyond, responding to new military challenges and technological advancements.
"US Battle Tanks 1946-2025" builds on material from Osprey's New Vanguard and Duel series, exploring key tank developments. It discusses the introduction of the Patton series, experimental designs like the T95, and the failed MBT-70 program. The book also covers the M1 Abrams, a more practical design that became the most successful American tank of the postwar era and remains in service today.
Published in collaboration with the AUSA Book Program, which supports literature on US Army history, military strategy, and security studies.

US-Panzer - nach 1945 (Typenkompass)

While the USA had bought its tanks from Great Britain and France in the First World War, it had already become the main producer itself by the Second World War.
Due to the subsequent Cold War, it remained so. The battle tanks that the United States built from then on were always among the best in the world. This has not changed to this day.
Alexander Lüdeke, an expert in the field of tanks, presents all the models that have appeared in the USA from 1945 to today in this Typenkompass - from the M4 Sherman to the M48 Patton to the M1 Abrams, their current "Main Battle Tank".
