Marine Corps Tank Battles in Korea

Description

Reviews for Hardback Edition: "In order to produce this fine book, the author has conducted extensive interviews with participants and consulted archival and published materials. This gives the book an excellent balance between the events as witnessed by the participants and the broader historic, strategic and tactical issues. It also makes for a great reading experience. The text is full of excellent "war stories" and covers a wide variety of combat and non-combat scenarios... You'll not be disappointed. Highly recommended." Missing Lynx

Gilbert has previously co-authored Tanks In Hell: A Marine Corps Tank Company On Tarawa (Casemate, 2015), winner of The General Wallace M. Greene Award for outstanding non-fiction. Gilbert is co-author of US Marine In World War I (Osprey Warrior Series, 2016).

If you're interested in The Korean War, Tanks, or the US Marine Corps, this is an interesting book on an interesting subject that should give you some hours of entertainment, and remain on hand as a reference for the modeller or historian. Korea has for too long been called the forgotten war, and these USMC tankers probably forgotten more than most. Highly Recommended. * Britmodeller.com * An excellent read which fills a gap on my bookshelves. Recommended. * Scale Military Modelling International Magazine * Together these books provide the definitive history of the USMC's tank forces...Very highly recommended. * Military Modelcraft International * History's stories told in this unusual, veteran' voices format, alongside interesting archive photography leaves a lasting impression of what it might have been like to serve as a marine in this bitter and protracted war. * Classic Military Vehicle Magazine *
