Gordon has written another excellent book on WWII small units - in this case the US Armored Infantry Battalion, Company, and Platoon. Provides a well detailed description of the organization, including weapons, for the vehicles, platoons, companies and battalions using the US half-track. These units were used in US Armor Divisions with three battalions of armored infantry operating with three tank battalions and three self-propelled artillery battalions.
Pictures and drawings are excellent. Several samples of actions are described - a shame there isn't enough room in the OSPREY series to more fully describe actual actions by US armored infantry. The book does explain the use of half-tracks in US armor doctrine. Good book for wargamers.
Can't go wrong with a book that includes seating arrangements for all of the half-tracks used in the Company.

Recommended. Excellent addition to the two OSPREY books on the US Armored Divisions in WWII.

In my opinion is good book with right informations about the tactics used by the american armored units in WWII, the book shows a lot of photos and diagrams with good interpretations, a good book for a beginner student in WWII.

This is not a complete review because the book has not been finished. Much of the first half covers unit organization and composition.
