Hell on Wheels: The 2nd Armored Division by Donald Houston is a 1995 paperback that delivers a vivid, soldier-level look at one of World War II’s hardest-fighting tank outfits. Military-history buffs will appreciate how Houston blends official records with personal stories to chart the division’s route through North Africa, Sicily, and the push into Germany.
The book’s 320 pages are crisp and unmarked, the spine smooth, and the binding square—no underlining, dog-ears, or smoke odor. It’s a clean copy that feels unread, ready for immediate shelf or field-bag duty.
Collectors seeking U.S. armored-unit references or scholars after a solid study guide to the 2nd Armored’s tactical evolution will find this edition both accessible and authoritative. Grab it to round out a WWII wars library without the usual ex-library wear.
