A brilliant, straightforward study of the men and machines that brought fame to the likes of Generals Patton, Pershing, and Chaffee and the Sherman, Grant and Lee tank. Features a detailed look at the career of Gen. Adna Romanza Chaffee, the 'Father of the Armoured Force' and a photo insert of the men and machines that made the American Armoured Corps a legend.
