About the Book

The German Tiger tank dominated the battlefields of Europe until the introduction of the Sherman Firefly in the summer of 1944 shattered the Tiger's aura of invincibility. Explore the design and development of these monsters, as well as their tactics and weaknesses as gun sight artwork places the reader “inside” the tanks during famous real-life engagements in the clash of steel that proved to be a victory not only for superior Allied numbers but also Allied engineering skill and ingenuity.
