T-34-85 vs M26 Pershing: Korea 1950: No. 32 (Duel) - Softcover

I have found most of these Duel titles on armour extremely interesting and in particular those by Steve Zaloga, whose titles for me are the pick of the bunch. Whether you are an armchair critic, modeller, historian, AFV enthusiast or even a professional armour crewman this is highly recommended. As a former AFV Commander I find these very useful in understanding armoured conflict and wish we had more titles like this while I was serving. Highly recommended. --Al Bowie for Model Military International

A hotly-debated topic amongst tank buffs is of the relative merits of the Soviet and American tanks of World War II. Using recently revealed documents, Steven Zaloga sheds light on the crucial tank battles of the Korean War as the rival superpowers' finest tanks battled for supremacy. The Soviet-equipped North Korean Peoples Army initially dominated the battlefield with the seemingly unstoppable T34-85. As US tank battalions hastily arrived throughout the late summer and early autumn of 1950, the M26 Pershing took the fight to North Korea with increasing success.
