As others have said he overturns the myth of 4 or 5 to 1 losses of Shermans to Panther/Tigers with solid evidence and explains the American logic of sticking with Sherman - not the best but good enough. It should be read by some supposed top drawer historians who repeat the myth of it being an abject disaster.
Why only a 4 - the writing style is competent enough - but I yearned for a little more 'sparkle' or drama at times.
Also, delivery was extremely fast, actually, unexpectedly fast!
