Heavy Metal - M1 Abrams Tank Company's Battle to Baghdad - Iraq War Hardback

Heavy Metal: A Tank Company's Battle to Baghdad by Captain Jason Conroy and Ron Martz.

A gripping first-hand account of modern armoured warfare during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, told by the commander of an M1A1 Abrams tank company that fought its way into Baghdad.

Follows Charlie Company of the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division through four weeks of almost continuous combat, from Kuwait through the battles for Najaf and the advance on Baghdad, culminating in the famous Thunder Runs into the Iraqi capital.

Written with veteran combat reporter Ron Martz, the book offers a commander's-eye view of tank warfare, battlefield decisions, logistics, intelligence failures, urban combat and the experiences of soldiers inside the vehicles.

An interesting read for military history enthusiasts, particularly those interested in the Iraq War, M1 Abrams tanks and modern armoured warfare.
