My Tank Is Fight! contains a humorous and exciting examination of twenty real inventions from World War II that never saw the light of day. Each entry includes full technical details, a complete development history, in-depth analysis, and a riveting fictionalized account of the invention's success or failure on the battlefield.


Dive under the Atlantic in the turreted U-Cruiser, or rule its surface from an aircraft carrier made out of ice. Shred bomber formations in a high-performance flying wing fighter and then rocket to your untimely end from the cockpit of your very own suicide missile. We've got a pair of German armored land vehicles for you that are so large they had to be powered by naval engines!


My Tank Is Fight! delivers the thrilling action of the Second World War as it might have been with a touch of humor and a lack of class.

      If you've never heard of a flying tank or an aircraft carrier made of ice, Zack Parsons's collection of the worst weapons of WWII will fill you with fascinating factoids. Although serious in intent, the light writing, like the title, keeps a tongue-in-cheek treatment throughout. Narrator Patrick Lawlor takes the author's cue and uses every opportunity to entertain. He adopts comedic Russian and German accents, his voices shout in panic during combat scenes, and his "Hitler in a temper tantrum" could win an Oscar. For the informative sections, he stays animated and brisk, sometimes sounding like he's just finished 12 cups of coffee. Lawlor never blurs his articulation and skillfully manages the foreign, technical, and military vocabulary. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
