Reddit mentions of Firepower: A History of the American Heavy Tank

A friend and I spent a good amount of time last night looking for information on the T29 and found out it is surprisingly hard to find technical information on a prototype vehicle from 70 years ago, with WoT entries making up a huge majority of the results(It's amazing how hard WoT has made finding actual tank information). The only redundant armor information we could glean was a 4 inch upper glacis, 5 inch turret sides and between 8 and 11 inch thick gunshield. The only credible source of T29 information was a $200+ book, everything else was sourceless.


I know it's a longshot but if anyone here has the book: "Firepower: A History of the American Heavy Tank" some information from it would be greatly appreciated, as that is the only source that is cited.

Already pre-ordered

I mean, the Amazon ones are like 6x the price, so I'll take a steal if I can.

mfw "$50 is a heavy price":

New

Used

At no point is $55 a really heavy price, given the content of the book. And shipping internationally costs more because customs is a thing.

Now, if you dont want a reference book (and thats what this is) then yea, I can see the price being an issue. But in the realm of reference books, this price is pretty good.
