This book is about a man named Clarence Smoyer and his tank crew and friends in his division, the 3rd Armored Division of the United States. The book also has the view of a man named Gustav Schaefer who was in a tank against Clarence in the city of Cologne. There Clarence in his T-26 Pershing had a duel with Gustav in his Panzer IV and a German Panther tank. Years after this Clarence returns to Cologne to meet with Gustav to get rid of his PTSD.
I liked this book because it shows the two reactions to the new American T-26, the people that drove it and the people that fought it. This book is good for people who are interested in the topic of WWII.
