News York, N.Y. ARCO Publishing Company, Inc., 1969. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus (some information previously appeared in Airfix magazine.). Wraps. 80 pages. Illustrations. Technical Data. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. Sticker residue and scuff on front cover. Includes Introduction, Photographic Reference Section, Appendix 1: M4 Production Summary; Appendix 2: M4 Series Specifications.

This book is probably the first ever devoted to the detailed history of one particular type of tank. The U.S. Sherman (or M4 Medium tank) was built in greater numbers than any other tank in the history of armored warfare, and appeared in many more variants than any other individual design. The M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II. It remains the best-known and longest-lived of any World War II type, many remaining in service--and sometimes in action--today. More

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing, 1989. Presumed First English Language Edition, First printing. Hardcover. ix, [1], 261, [1] pages.

The material which forms the basis of this history of the battles and the final downfall of the legendary Tiger tank has been accumulated by the authors piece by piece since the end of the Second World War. The war diaries of several battalions were available, as well as individual diaries, letters, and evaluations. This is a classic on the Tiger I and Tiger II formations of the German Army and Waffen-SS. Even though the English-language edition of "Tiger, The History of a Legendary Weapon" is over 30 years old, it is still one of the best books written on the most feared tank of the Second World War. It is full of firsthand accounts that cannot be found anywhere else. The book covers the development history of the Tiger and continues with its introduction to battle near Leningrad. All the Army and Waffen-SS Tiger formations and the major battles they fought in are covered, from sPz.Abt. 501 in North Africa, through the struggles on the Eastern Front, to the fighting in the West, in Italy and in Hungary and ending with the final battles in Germany. Also included are unit histories of the Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger formations. More

New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1953. Presumed First U. S. Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xxx, 545, [5] pages. Endpaper maps. Footnotes. Illustrations. Maps (incl. 2 fold-out). Appendix. Index. Index to Editorial Notes by General Bayerlein. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. It has wear, tears, soiling, and chips. Embossed stamp of previous owner on title page. Contents include: Introduction, The Story of the Rommel Papers by Manfred Rommel, Editorial Note, Part One: France 1940; Part Two: The War in Africa--First Year; Part Three: The War in Africa--Second Year; Part Four: Italy; Part Five: Invasion. The Rommel Papers is the collected writings by the German World War II field marshal Erwin Rommel published in 1953. The book included Rommel's writings of the war, edited by the British strategist and historian B. H. Liddell Hart, the former Wehrmacht officer Fritz Bayerlein, who served on Rommel's staff in North Africa, and Rommel's widow and son. The volume contained an introduction and commentary by Liddell Hart. Liddell Hart had a personal interest in the work: by having coaxed Rommel's widow to include material favorable to himself, he could present Rommel as his "pupil" when it came to mobile armored warfare. Thus, Liddell Hart's "theory of indirect approach" became a precursor to the German blitzkrieg ("lightning war"). The controversy was described by the political scientist John Mearsheimer in his work The Weight of History, who concluded that, by "putting words in the mouths of German Generals and manipulating history", Liddell Hart was in a position to show that he had been at the root of the dramatic German successes in 1940.
