World War II saw tanks assume a dominant role in warfare, capable of tearing through the enemy lines if left unchecked. To combat the threat posed by these armoured behemoths the United States developed the M1 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher, better known as the Bazooka. First employed in combat during 1942, the weapon required a great deal of skill and courage to use effectively. By late 1944 it was a mainstay of the US infantry's anti-tank capabilities, alongside towed weapons, anti-tank grenades and other longer-established measures.
Focusing on the savage close-quarters fighting between Germany's armoured divisions and the US infantry during the Battle of the Bulge, Steven Zaloga's absorbing study compares and assesses the strengths and limitations of the cutting-edge technology used by both sides. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and explosive battle reports, this volume casts new light on the evolving nature of infantry-versus-tank combat in the closing months of World War II.

"Very accessible, easy-to-read overview of a very significant tactical problem, with great short summaries of steps taken on both sides to address it. Well-researched; good photo and diagram selection. Great background on Infantry antitank tactics." - AMPS
." . . I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the M1 Bazooka, and its development and use in the European theater." - IPMS/USA
During World War II the revolutionary bazooka allowed US infantry to destroy enemy armour at close range, while the Germans developed new hardware and tactics to counter this threat to their tanks. Focusing on the savage winter fighting during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, this book will appeal to tank enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in World War II.
