Zaloga examines the US\nArmy's efforts to field a heavy tank in World War II. The first design was the\nM6, which never saw combat use despite being type classified. The heavy T14\nassault tank, earmarked for the British under Lend-Lease, was also developed,\nwhile the M4A3E2 assault tank went into production as a stopgap for the 1944\ncampaign in France. The most outrageous US tank project of the war was the\nT28\/T95 superheavy tank, which was so large that it required four sets of\nsuspension bogies instead of the usual two.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe M26 Pershing medium tank program also spawned a number of heavy tank\nprojects, such as the T29, T30 and T34, which are also examined. Although\nproduction of these was envisioned in 1945–46, the end of the war put an end to\nany possibility of serial manufacture. Nevertheless, these tanks were heavily\ninfluenced by World War II lessons and their development and technical features\nare examined.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIllustrated with rarely seen archive photos and meticulously illustrated new\nprofiles of the key designs, this book traces the US Army's efforts to develop\nheavy tanks comparable to the German Tigers, and the reasons why such monstrous\nmachines were never required.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven J.
