Overview
This intimate photo essay offers a glimpse of the remarkable Ml Abrams tank and the men who serve in them. Since its first stunning successes in 1982 exercises, the Ml has proven to be something special. A unique gas turbine engine affords the tank great speed and agility; a state-of-the-art sighting system allows it to destroy targets at great distances and on the first shot, night or day; and special composite armor protects it from the worst the enemy can throw at it. During the Gulf War, the Ml Abrams recorded overwhelming success against Iraq's Soviet-built tanks, which did not manage to destroy a single Abrams. Exclusive color photographs depict the tanks and their crewmembers at the generous rate of two per page.Book Details
