Stansell, Pat Son of Sherman

The Sherman. Design and Development. 2 volumes

A complete and illustrated description of the American armoured series of the M4 Sherman in World War 2. The different variants with all their modifications are analysed in words and pictures down to the smallest detail. There are contemporary b/w photos, current colour photos of restored museum and collector's examples as well as precise drawings.

In 1978, R. P. Hunnicutt published his work "Sherman. A History of the American Medium Tank", which set the standard for in-depth research into this legendary tank.
35 years later, in 2013, that bar was raised when Pat Stansell published "Son of Sherman" - a 386-page volume detailing the intricacies of the Sherman tank's various models, manufacturers and production runs. This book sold out almost immediately and today regularly sells on the secondary market for 2 to 6 times the original issue price Now, a decade later, Stansell raises the bar even higher with this massive, two-volume work of 972 pages that greatly expands the depth and scope of knowledge about the M4 Sherman range in World War II. This book is sure to become an authoritative reference work for decades to come.
