Reviews for M551 Sheridan
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another typically good number from Steve Zaloga. While the overarching theme is airborne armor in the United States Army, the real thrust is examining the thousand screaming agonies involved in making the Sheridan a viable weapons system.
