The Armored Fist: The 712th Tank Battalion in the Second World War

This is not a story of tanks, guns, strategy and statistics; this is the human story of the characters that operated the tanks – the ordinary men who found themselves at the forefront of the war. The Armored Fist exposes the peculiar caprice of war, when men’s emotions are pushed to uncharted extremities. From balking horrors to careless delights, from cheerful camaraderie to bitter sadness: this is the story of everyman’s war.
