About Sherman Tanks Of The Red Army
Review "Readers interested in an American contribution to the Soviet war effort would do well to read Samsonov’s work. Its quick, amply illustrated and documented style will appeal to both historians looking for a niche study and Armor professionals looking to learn from the past." ARMOR Magazine "...an important contribution to the literature on the Sherman in WW2. It is well-written, well-organized and best of all, well-researched." AMPS "...will be of interest to modelers planning on building a Sherman..." AMPS Indianapolis "Enjoyed it." Historical Miniatures Gaming Society Product Description More than 4000 examples of the famous diesel-fuelled M4A2 Sherman tank were sent to the Soviet Union during the Second World War under the Lend-Lease programme. These American-built vehicles were operated by Red Army crews against the Germans during some of the bitterest fighting on the Eastern Front – yet despite serving with distinction and being well-liked by their crews, relatively little has been written about these vehicles until now. Tank expert Peter Samsonov looks at the origins of the M4A2 in Soviet service and the machines that were received from the US as well as providing a detailed assessment of how they fared in combat on the front line. About the Author Peter Samsonov is a Canadian tank historian who runs the renowned Tank Archives blog.
