The USA has been embroiled in the ongoing insurgency in Iraq since Operation Iraqi Freedom kicked off on 23 March 2003. "Marines on the Ground: Operation Iraqi Freedom 1" covered the important role played by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in the initial invasion. The second volume in this two-part series has now been released, and it carries on the story of I MEF's return to Iraq in March 2004 through to the end of March 2005 when responsibility was handed over to II MEF. As in the earlier volume, this book utilizes official photos taken by USMC photographers. This ensures a wide variety of photos covering different locations, units and vehicles are included. Operation Al Fajr, the violent Battle of Fallujah, is extremely well covered in a detailed chapter that offers a day-by-day action of the fighting. Understanding of this operation is boosted by a personal battle account from Andreas Elesky , MSgt USMC (Ret.), who participated in the fighting before being wounded in action.

Much has been written about the Coalition invasion of Iraq in 2003, but there has been much less written about the United States Marine Corps' role specifically. Indeed, there are very few volumes that provide a concise yet full summary of the complete operation carried out by the Marines. This book provides a valuable survey of what the Marines of mostly I MEF achieved in this historic liberation of Iraq. This book focuses primarily on the vehicles and weapons used by Marine ground forces. In a day-by-day account, the carefully researched volume describes the main and relevant events from pre-invasion, right through to the presidential declaration of the end of hostilities. The battles, the strategies, are all delineated in informative fashion in the text. This is backed up by the wide range of photos, many obtained from Marine combat photographers who were covering the invasion. This ensures that there is a wide range of settings, units and vehicles covered.

This book is a follow on to an earlier Concord book, T-72 (1004) that was first published in 1989. It brings the story up to date with coverage of the many new versions of this famous tank. The T-72 is the most widely produced main battle tank in the world today, and is being manufactured in 5 countries in a remarkable number of variants. In view of the bad reputation that the T-72 had received in the 1991 Gulf War and in Chechnya, the Russian plant renamed the newest versions of the T-72 as the T-90. A lot of variants are being developed in both the T-72 and T-90, including main battle tank, combat support vehicles, and special purpose vehicles. Among the T-72 and T-90 variants featured in this book are T-72S, T-72 Banan, T-72AG, T-72MP, PT-91, T-72M2, T-72M4, T-72 Ajeya, M-95, T-90, T-90S, T-90M, BMPT, A-40, TOS-1, BMR-3, BMR-3M, IMR-2MA, IMR-3MA, MID, MTU-72, BREM-1, and VT-72B.

The British Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) was formed more than 60 years ago. The units of the RAC made their contribution to the end of the Cold War by fighting in the Gulf War, keeping peace in Bosnia and Kosovo, and supporting civil authority at home in Northern Ireland. The RAC, which provides the tank force to the British Army, is today composed of eight Challenger 1 and 2 regiments. When the British Army needed a replacement for the Chieftain tank fleet, it chose the ill-fated Shir Iran 2 MBT which was developed for Iran. Modifications were made and the new improved version was named Challenger. The first Challenger 1s were delivered to the British Army in 1983. The Challenger 1 is armed with the L11A5 120mm rifled gun, weighted 62 tons, and has a crew of four. During the Gulf War, Challenger tanks destroyed 300 enemy main battle tanks and an unknown number of armored vehicles.
