Historie

An illustrated history of the American tanks deployed to the Pacific theater during World War II and the conflicts they faced there.

This volume in the Casemate Illustrated series explores American armor during the Pacific Campaign of the Second World War, from 1942 to 1945. In this period, there were over twenty major tank battles and operations in which tanks provided heavy support to infantry units. These operations included the Battle of Tarawa and the Bougainville Campaign. American Armor in the Pacific also features the strategies and tactics of the opposing forces, relying heavily on first-person accounts.

This book examines the Pacific theater and how American armor was employed with great success in that theater of war. It also offers detailed information on American and Japanese armored forces, including development, equipment, capabilities, organization, and order of battle.

Praise for American Armor in the Pacific

“Packed with over 100 images … exactly what a reader interested in the armored battles fought between the Imperial Japanese war machine and U. S. military would want to see. ” —Globe at War
