This short volume should be of interest primarily to modelers and wargamers, but not so much for historians. He is a member of the Armor Modeling and Preservation Society.
He is a frequent contributor to the UK-based modeling magazine Military Modelling. Zaloga is also a noted scale armor modeler and is a host/moderator of the World War II Allied Discussion group at, a modelling website. He holds a BA in history from Union College and an MA in history from Columbia University.
From 1987 through 1992, he was the writer/producer for Video Ordnance Inc., preparing their TV series Firepower. He was a special correspondent for Jane’s Intelligence Review and is on the executive board of the Journal of Slavic Military Studies and the New York Military Affairs Symposium. His books have been translated into Japanese, German, Polish, Czech, Romanian, and Russian. He has written over a hundred books on military technology and military history, including “Armored Thunderbolt: The US Army Sherman in World War II”, one of the most highly regarded histories of the Sherman Tank. Steven Zaloga is an author and defense analyst known worldwide for his articles and publications on military technology. Author Steven Zaloga also scrutinises the technical balance between the opposing sides, comparing armour, mobility and firepower as well as other important factors such as reliability, crew situational awareness, and tank layout/efficiency.įull of specially commissioned and highly accurate artwork plates of the tanks themselves, as well as fascinating technical data based on cutting-edge research, this title is the definitive guide to tank warfare in the Battle of the Bulge. Beginning with a basic overview of the campaign, accompanied by an order of battle of the major armoured units, it examines the opposing forces, covering the organization of the two tank forces to explain how they were deployed. Offering detailed answers to these questions, and many more, this book provides a survey of the principal tank and tank-equivalents (such as tank destroyers and Jagdpanzers) that took part in the Ardennes Campaign of December 1944–January 1945. The Battle of the Bulge raises many questions which, until now, have not been adequately answered: How did the major tank types perform during the battle? What were the specific 'lessons learned' from the combat? And did these lessons result in changes to tanks in the subsequent months?
