A good, but narrowly focused, history of Marine armor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Well written and concise. The author focuses on acquisition, programmatics and doctrine - the exploits and combat history of Marine tank units are not covered in detail. Readers looking for coverage of tactical and operational details regarding Marine tank units in combat should look elsewhere. That said, the Marine Corps debate on armor, as it related to force structure and doctrine are well described. A great case study in how military services struggle to organize, train and equip for the next conflict.
