Purpose of the book is to describe and illustrate the main versions of one of the most famous World War Two armored vehicles, used by Allies and therefore by American, British, Canadian, Czechoslovakian, French and Polish units in battles fought along the way from the beaches of Normandy up to the Reich. Particular attention has been paid to the historical aspects of the topic, without neglecting the technical point of view. Given the limited space and the wide availability of data and pictures, the decision to deal exclusively with the basic versions of the Sherman was the only choice. The discussion about the special vehicles based on this tank would have gone to the expense of most important general issues.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51064650858769,"sku":"NIN9788893274630","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8893274639.jpg?v=1751254810"},{"product_id":"albanian-units-in-the-second-world-war-book-luigi-manes-9788893277495","title":"Albanian units in the Second World War","description":"On 16 April 1939 Victor Emmanuel I received the Crown of Albania at the Quirinal Palace.The Land of the Eagles and Fascist Italy would thus share a common destiny.

Nella redazione di questo lavoro si   tentato di offrire un panorama il pi  possibile completo dal punto di vista storico senza trascurare l'aspetto tecnico dell'argomento. Tenuto conto dell'amplissima disponibilit  di materiale al riguardo e dei limiti di spazio, la decisione di occuparsi unicamente delle versioni classiche dello Sherman   stata praticamente una scelta obbligata.
