The German Tiger tank was a beast of a machine that dominated the battlefields of Europe. One of the most formidable weapons of World War II, the Tiger acquired an aura of invincibility that was only broken by the introduction of the Sherman Firefly in the summer of 1944.

Designed by the British to combat the Tiger, the Sherman Firefly was based on the American M4A4 Sherman, but was equipped with a powerful 17-pounder gun, making it a deadly opponent.

This book describes the design and development of these two adversaries, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, evaluating their tactics, weapons, and training. The art of targeting places the reader 'inside' the tanks during famous battle scenarios, showcasing a victory through superior numbers, tactics, and Allied engineering.
