It covers the overly ambitious and failed MBT-70 tank program and the more austere M1 Abrams that followed - a tank that proved to be the best US tank design of the post-World War II period and one that is still in service today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublished in association with the AUSA Book Program, offering quality books about US Army heritage, military theory and policy, and security in the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven J.
