For a relatively cheap and profusely-illustrated book, see:

Modern Land Combat
D. Miller and C.F. Foss
Portland House, NY 1987

There are four companion volumes on air, sea and undersea combat.

I do not have THE reference on the M1 and variants but there is a book that is
THE book to get; it cost about $70 and is slightly larger than 8.5x11 and
contains about 400 pages. I saw a copy at the Dayton AF museum or was it at a
gun collector show;  it has a simple title like the 'M1 Abrams'. It has
companion volumes on the Sherman and Patton tanks.
