Free Downloads M1 Abrams Tank: Rare Photographs From Wartime Archives (Images Of War)
The Ml 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 modernization of weaponry armor and engineering guarantees that the MI 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.REVIEWS there are some impressive photographs, all have been chosen to tell the story, not just to entertain. Mr Green’s text describes the history and service of the Abrams in a readable and accessible style. The book is neither anoracky at one end of the scale or too generic at the other. I think I commented that one of his last books on tanks may have been out of place in the Images of War range and could have been an expanded and glossier history in it’s own right. I may have missed the point. Having a book of this quality in this range makes it affordable on one level and it adds a strong degree of credibility to the series on the other War History Online

Excellent book. Usually this series is mostly photos and little content. M1 Abrams Tank has maybe the best summary of the development history of the M1 up to 2015. A must get for any tank enthusiast. A nice selection of photos as well.
As a modern armor model builder I am always on the lookout for good reference material. Mr. Green's book covers the M1 from the prototype 105mm version all the way to the latest SEP version. For the price it's hard to beat.
An interesting series of books, each offering covers a specific vehicle, and this one covers the M-1 during recent engagements abroad. Very well illustrated, this offering lets you see just how our tax dollars bought the best tank there is, and what it can do. This volume is one worth owning.
I know nothing about tanks but this easy read with lots of illustrations has helped me to understand some of the reasons for tanks being like they are. Interesting and informative.
One of the most definitive accounts of the Abrams. Well written and up to date. Can't wait to hear about the M1-A2 SEP V3 to start rolling out.
More content than anticipated. Recommended for Dino and Jedi tankers, alike...
