“An excellent publication of the development of US anti tank guns and motor carriages. Very well researched pre war trials and failures and how the US thought very differently to many others in regards to what a anti tank gun should be mounted on. Well worth the purchase.”

“Overall very good. However, did spot a couple of typos and a couple of photos seemed to have come out very dark.”

“An initial glance at the cover would indicate a book on something to do with the (in)famous World of Tanks computer game. Do not be put off by this, as it is a remarkable book, in the syle of Hunnicutt's famous tomes. Running to 228 pages in hardback, with plenty of photos and supporting text, it covers the arcane tank destroyer prototypes developed during WW2 by America. The data pages for all the vehicles are all grouped together in the last 30 pages. The only thing missing, for AFV modelling fans, are scale plans. The chapters are sorted uniquely, by gun type, each chapter than detailing all the vehicle designs that used that particular gun. Some of the designs are a richness of embarrassments, but as a historical record it is all inclusive, regardless of merit, in an attempt to get into the mind set prevailing at the time. The author has adopted a admirably strict rule - if it wasn't in the archives, it wasn't included in the book. Thus you'll not find any hearsay, rumoured ideas, or postwar topical commentary. The text is less dry than Hunnicutt's, and Moran's humour occasionally pops up as you go along. For all fans of armour fighting vehicle development, this is a recommended book. Let's hope Nicholas Moran applies his talents to further AFV tomes.”

“Interesting addition to already available books on this subject focussing on the development history and in that respect a complete survey”
