The Field Artillery arm was one of the few areas that the US Army started out ahead of the Axis powers and stayed there.

I ususal Osprey style the detailed text is supported by multiple photos, charts and several full-color drawings. The result is a one-stop reference on the guns and tactics used in WW2.

Determined to learn from the lessons of World War I where it was unprepared and heavily reliant on British and French guns, the US Army developed a whole new generation of field artillery weapons and tactics during the 1930s. Consequently, in World War II it was the clear leader in field artillery.
Providing a thorough examination of the many critical innovations and doctrines, and the impact they had on performance in combat, this book demonstrates why US field artillery was so effective in World War II.
