Just read Harry Yeide book on the separate tank battalions and the tank destroyer force in ww2
both are pretty good especially the infantry's armor as it covers the amphtrack battalions in the pacific.
Yeah sure.
One of the best books on the Sherman that is actually affordable is Steven Zaloga's Armored Thunderbolt which is a history of the development of the Sherman as well as an examination of its combat performance.
If you have a bunch of money to burn I would also recommend R.P. Hunnicutt's Sherman: A History of the American Medium Tank. This book spends less time on the actual combat performance of the tank and is more about the technical aspects and development of the M4, and spends a lot of time on the various other medium tanks that led up to the development of the M4. You want to know some obscure detail about the Sherman and its development? That book will have your answer. Unfortunately Sherman is like $200-$300 on Amazon. I was lucky enough to find my copy for $150. Hunnicutt also did a number of other books on the development of basically every American AFV, and they are an excellent resource, but once again, very expensive.
For a good book on how the Americans used tanks to support infantry look no further than Harry Yeides' The Infantry's Armor: The U.S. Army's Separate Tank Battalions in World War II. The book really gives an excellent account of the US Army's separate tank battalions.
Yeide also wrote a very good book on American TDs called The Tank Killers: A History of America's World War II Tank Destroyer Force
Steven Zaloga has also done book comparing the Sherman to the Panther, and one analyzing US tank performance from the Battle of the Bulge to the end of the war.
The Osprey books are also really good resources for different tanks and a number of very good historians contribute to that series of books.
I haven't read any myself, but the only one that comes to mind is The Infantry's Armor by Harry Yeide. I used some of it for research and reference when I was writing up a unit history of my grandfather's WWII Pacific-based amphibian tank battalion.
