"Sherman Medium Tank 1942–45" by Steven J. Zaloga, with illustrations by Peter Sarson, provides a detailed examination of the M4 Sherman tank, which was the backbone of the Western Allies' armored forces during World War II. Renowned for its speed and modern design, the Sherman outperformed many contemporary British tanks. However, by the time of the Normandy invasion in June 1944, advancements in German heavy tank designs had surpassed the Sherman in both armor and firepower. This volume delves into the development, variants, firepower, protection, mobility, and operational history of the Sherman, as well as its post-war combat service.
