Ion Tigers

With Michael Farmer's 1st. Hit Tin Soldiers and now Iron Tigers you get the feel of what is is to command a M1A1 Tank and be part of a top notch crew of Tankers. Michael has an insite that is to the point and makes both books an enjoyment to read. Both books are a must for those of you into the operations of Tanks in battle.

Iron Tigers Why Havent't you read it

Michael Farmer's first book Tin Soldiers was the best armored warfare book I had ever read! Iron Tigers is just as good. When Russia's fragile democracy fails, a hard line former communist takes over. In Saudi Arabia, the new peaceful Iraq begins to answer the oil needs of the West leaving the Saudis in the cold. The Saudis seek a new ally. With a powerful new alliance the Russians and Saudis move to dominate the world's oil reserves by conquering Iraq, Kuwait, the UAR and Qatar. The only thing in the way is the M1A2-SEPs of the 1st Cavalry Division and Patrick Dillon's tanks of Cold Steel. This book was excellent. Patrick Dillon, Dave Bennett and Colonel Jones all return. New characters like Rolf Krieger and Luke Dodd are great additions to the storyline. Farmer returns with the same technical detail and descriptive writing that made me think once or twice I was crawling around the desert. I love these kinds of books so I have read quite a few and can tell you this book will be in your top five. If you enjoyed Tin Soldiers this book is for you, and can't wait for the third book. READ THIS BOOK!

Great reading!

Before I started Iron Tigers, I reread Mr. Farmer's first novel, Tin Soldiers, and found it just as good as the first reading. Iron Tigers was at least as good as his first effort, if not better. I recommend both of these novels to anyone who desires to escape into an armor combat scenario for a while. Enjoy!

review

I gave just finished reading IRON TIGERS and couldn`t put it down till finished, very good reading for all ages especialy former tankers. The only drawback I could find was the duel between two tanks, it would just not happen otherwise a very good book. just hope Michael keeps on writing.

Iron Tigers...as real as it gets

Michael Farmer has surpassed the great authors of modern warfare such as Harold Coyle and Tom Clancy with his book "Iron Tigers". For once a book has been written that reflects the 21st century battlefield and the solders themselves, written by an author who's been there and can relate his experience to the readers. I couldn't put "Iron Tigers" down. As a Gulf War veteran and Cavalry Scout, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get a feel for today's battlefield and those who serve on it.
