Readers will almost feel the ground rumble beneath their feet when they open this action-packed book about the fearsome Abrams tank! They will learn the history of the tank and its different versions, as well as tank specifications including size and weight, top speed, armament, and cost.

      This series identifies four vehicles used in contemporary military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The specifications, military uses, statistical data, and materials used in construction of each vehicle are briefly discussed. Reluctant readers and military buffs will appreciate the readable, if selective and superficial, texts enhanced by large captioned photographs. Glos., ind.
