Description
The eight-wheeled (8x8) Stryker combat light armored vehicle was adopted by the US Army in 2002.
It needed to provide a comparatively rapidly deployable contingency force with armor protection, tactical mobility, and heavy firepower, as well as advanced command, control communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities.
Covering the first new US Army release since the M1 Abrams MBT, this book details the conception, development and deployment of one of the most highly anticipated AFVs in modern history, including its service in Iraq and the ensuing controversy surrounding the Stryker's varying successes.
