As US tank battalions hastily arrived throughout the late summer and early autumn of 1950, the M26 Pershing took the fight to North Korea with increasing success.Featuring illustrations throughout, this match-up between the two titans of World War II on the battlefields of Korea is ideal for all armor enthusiasts.
