### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An Excellent Read on WWII Tank Combat from Normandy to Germany
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017*

Tank Action is a very good read for a view from the turret during WWII.  In this case, the view is from the commander's hatch in a British Sherman from Normandy through Holland into Germany.  The author had me hooked when he explained how he bore-sighted his Sherman's main gun after his gunner refused to do it.  It was the same way that tankers have always done using string and a target.  I did this on both M60's and M1A1's, though the latter had the boresight device that made I much easier.Back to the book.  I thought it was very well written explaining his insights into his crew and other soldiers in his unit, particularly the effects of combat fatigue, which he experienced, too.  He does a wonderful job of describing the Sherman both the pluses and minuses.  Especially interesting to me was how his unit used tactics to overcome the Sherman's shortcomings to successfully engage Panthers, Mark IV's and even a Tiger!If you are interested in WWII armor combat experiences and the human side of a Sherman crew, I highly recommend this book.

    A tanker's war
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020*

Well written book about a tank (and troop) commander's experience in a Sherman tank in the days/weeks after D-Day 1944. The writing is really top-notch as the experiences and recollections of just a normal, everyday young British soldier are brought to life. This is not a book of grand strategy in the annals of WWII. It is the personal and small unit experiences of A Squadron, 5 Troop of the British Sherwood Rangers employing Sherman tanks to engage their German enemy across the bocage country of France and the fields of Holland. A delight to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A fascinating perspective on WWII northern France campaign
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2019*

Truly outstanding account of the campaign in northern France from the tank commander’s perspective.  Helps you understand the little things that impacted whether one lived or died, won or lost.  It also brought home the difficulty of maintaining cohesion in the unit when casualties led to replacements constantly entering the picture.  Though I’ve studied much about WWII, I learned something new from this riveting book.  Definitely recommend.
