Superior to both Iraq's Soviet era T and T tanks, nearly all sources claim that no Abrams tank has ever been destroyed by enemy fire. Despite entering service in , the M1 Abrams remained untested in combat until the Gulf War in , where it was to be confronted by its archenemy the Iraqi-assembled Soviet-designed T Entering production in , the T arguably outstripped its contemporaries in a balance of mobility, protection and firepower. By the time of Operation Desert Storm, however, the tables had turned and the tank suffered due to low quality ammunition and poorly trained crews.
In this fascinating study, Steven Zaloga pits these two great fighting machines against one another, plotting the development of the Cold War until both tanks met in combat in the deserts of Iraq and Kuwait. In a career that stretched from until , Bill Slim's greatest triumphs came in India and Burma in the long war against the Japanese.
Thrust into a desperate situation, he orchestrated the longest retreat in British Army history in the withdrawal from Burma. He then turned on the Japanese in India, shattered their army, and pursued them to destruction. Apart from his great military victories, Slim also left a legacy of training and morale building that endures in the British Army to this day. This book examines both Bill Slim's military career and his place in military history by examining some of his greatest battles and the strategy and tactics that set him apart from his contemporaries.
