M4 (76mm) Sherman Medium Tank
1943-65 by Steven J Zaloga
The M4 Sherman tank was the mainstay of the Western
allies between 1942 and 1945. Fast and modern, it was a big success
and was transported as far afield as Russia and North Africa. The
American Chief of Staff claimed in November 1943 that it was "hailed
widely as the best tank on the battlefield today...". However,
by the Normandy invasion of June 1944 this was not the case: the new
German heavy tanks such as the Panther and Tiger were completely
outclassing the Sherman. Using a wealth of new archive material,
this title covers the M4 version armed with the 76mm gun, examining
developments such as the HVSS suspension.
