Book Description
My Tank is Fight! is a humorous look at more than 20 unusual or insane inventions of the Second World War. Each chapter features a detailed examination of the real history and technology behind each invention. All 19 chapters are linked by a fictional narrative that explores what might have happened had the inventions been put to use during the War. The book is also lavishly illustrated, with 18 full-color illustrations and more than two dozen detailed black and white illustrations. My Tank is Fight! is not a dry analysis of the forgotten weapons of war, it brings those weapons to life.

About the author
Zack Parsons and SomethingAwful.com have been making people stupider over the Internet since 1999. If Zack were more secure in his sexuality, he would have a framed picture of Roger Mudd on his wall with a pink heart drawn around it, and for him, watching History's Mysteries is like riding with Indiana Jones and a little Asian kid in a coal car through a volcano.
