5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT READ COULDNT PUT IT DOWN, May 19, 2005
By 
This review is from: Armored Corps #1 (Paperback)
I can't really add anything to what oz wrote in his review. I was also a tanker and spent a year in 1ST Tank. And Mr. Callahan captured the life as a tanker better than any other author around. I would reccoment this book to every war buff.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Damned Fine Read, January 27, 2006
By 
This review is from: Armored Corps #1 (Paperback)
This book is one of those that doesn't come along often. The storyline isn't some far-fetched fiction that has no possibility of ever happening. It is an awesome book that brings its readers into the story. I couldn't put this book down. I've read other great books about tankers such as Team Yankee, but this by far takes the cake. It builds up the characters and the plot fluidly. If you like Clancy, Coyle, or any of those types, then this book is definately up your alley!

5.0 out of 5 stars On target account of US tankers in combat, August 2, 2005
By 
This review is from: Armored Corps #1 (Paperback)
Tankers seldom get the literary attention they deserve, but this is as close as anyone gets to being in a tank in combat. The men of First Tank are real, the stress they are under vibrates through the pages, and it is an honor to see a hard-working part of the armed forces finally get there due. This is the real deal.
