This is international affairs analyst Yeide's second tank title, the previous being Steele Victory: The Heroic Story of America's Independent Tank Battalions at War in Europe (2003). In this history Yeide takes on the Tank Destroyer (TD). These light and fast vehicles were at work in North Africa, Italy, and the European Theater of Operations during WWII. Yeide uses internal records, official reports and documents and interviews with TD veterans to provide an especially complete account of an overlooked but impressively successful response to the seemingly unstoppable German blitzkrieg.
