In less than thirty years, the U.S. Army's armored force rose from humble beginnings in borrowed tanks in World War I to a thundering crescendo of tactical prowess and lethal power during the liberation of Western Europe in World War II. M. H. Gillie's classic study recounts this stunning achievement: the bitter internal debates, the technological innovations, the live-or-die battles with German panzers. It is a dramatic look at the men and machines that brought fame to generals like John Pershing, George Patton, and Adna Chaffee and to the Sherman, Grant, and Lee tanks.
M. H. Gillie studied at Cornell University.
