M26 / M46 Pershing
Tank 1943-1953 by Steven J Zaloga, Tony Bryan and Jim Laurier
From the moment that the M4 Sherman was matched against the German
Panther and Tiger tanks, the American tank crews knew that their vehicles
were outclassed by the opposition. What was needed was a more powerful
tank, more heavily armed an armoured, that could take on powerful German
Panzers on a more equal footing. Although it took time to develop, by the
latter months of the war M26 Pershing tanks were reaching the frontline US
armoured units. Well armoured and with a powerful 90mm gun, the Pershing
was a match for any tank in the German order of battle.

Amtracs, US Amphibious
Assault Vehicles by Steve Zaloga, Terry Hadler and Mike Badrocke
Few military operations are as difficult and risky as an
amphibious landing against a contested beachhead. In the 1920's and
1930's, US Marines planners contemplated new solutions to this age-old
tactical problem - and the idea of the Amtrac was born. Amtracs first saw
action in August 1942 at Guadalcanal, and later took part in the landings
on Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa: they also played key roles in the Western
theatre, and later served in Korea, Vietnam, the Falklands and Grenada.
Steven Zaloga tracks the Amtrac's history from early prototypes to modern
models, focusing on operational developments, the tactics governing
deployment and use, and the numerous variants.

Cadillac
Gage V-100 Commando 1960-71 by R Lathrop & J McDonald Destined
to become one of the most influential post-war armored cars, the V-100
Commando was developed by the Cadillac Gage Company in 1962 as a private
venture, and the first prototype was completed in the same year. It
was designed as a multi-purpose vehicle and could function as an 11-man
personnel carrier, reconnaissance vehicle, convoy escort, command or
patrol car and a riot vehicle. The V-100 was tested and evaluated in
Vietnam before full scale production began in 1964. It saw
widespread use in Vietnam by both US and South Vietnamese forces.
This title describes the design, development and operational use of the
V-100 Commando, including its continued deployment around the world today.
