Craig DiLouie’s Armor series puts readers inside the turret of an American tank during World War II. The five novels follow crews through the biggest campaigns of the war, starting with the fight for North Africa and ending with the collapse of Nazi Germany. DiLouie draws on historical research to capture the claustrophobic reality of armored warfare, where a crew’s survival depended on split-second decisions and a fair amount of luck.
Each book covers a distinct phase of the war. The Battle of North Africa opens the series with the Allied push across the desert, followed by the invasion of Sicily. Fortress Europe takes the action to the beaches and hedgerows of France, while The Bulge drops readers into the brutal winter fighting of the Ardennes. Reich’s Fall closes things out with the final drive into Germany. The series works as both military history and fast-paced fiction, with enough technical detail to satisfy armor enthusiasts without bogging down the story.
