Media reviews

"This book tells the remarkable story chronologically, covers design & development, the strategic situation, technical specifications, gunnery, small unit tactical and maintenance along with the effect of the climate on tank crews, a brief combat description of the fighting at Kasserine...statistics and analysis and an Aftermath/Conclusion"- Howie Belkin, International Plastic Modellers' Society (July 2008).

"The book then goes on to detail this initial major combat between the two forces, following up with an analysis of the event and what came afterwards. All of this is superbly illustrated with maps, cutaways, and period photographs, making this edition a must-have for those interested in the combat capabilities of these two machines."- Scott Van Aken, modelingmadnes.com (May 2008)

This would be a duel between the stalwart of the Wehrmacht armored divisions - the Panzerkampfwagen III - and the American's as yet untested first armored division. In reality both would prove unequal to the task as they floundered amidst the rugged hills and ravines of the Tunisian landscape.
