M1 Abrams In Action
(Soft Cover)
Product Code: SS12053

By Davide Doyle.

The Abrams family of tanks has been America's premier main battle

tank for over 30 years, and remains arguably one of the most
formidable tanks in the world. The first tank to boast a power
plant with a 1,500-h.p. gas turbine, the M1 also features air
conditioning - primarily for its advanced electronics, but also,
by default, for its crews. Conceived during the height of the
Cold War, the Abrams has never been called upon to combat a
global superpower, but nevertheless has seen extensive combat -
particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. This volume focuses on
those combat experiences, in particular the victories and losses
of the Abrams and crews on the front lines.
Illustrated with more than 230 photographs plus detailed line
drawings and a color profile; 128 pages.
