The World's Greatest Tanks by Michael E Haskew
Tanks features 52 of the best armoured fighting vehicles from World War I to the present day. Beginning with the prototype Mark V Male in 1917, the book ranges from World War I, World War II, through the Cold War and up to the highly sophisticated tanks that have seen recent service in wars in the Balkans, Caususus, and Middle East. From the Soviet T-34 and German Panther tanks of World War II to the M1A2 Abrams, Challenger 2 and T-90 of the present day, Tanks is an expert examination of the most successful tanks of the past hundred years. Each entry is examined over two spreads and includes a brief description of the tank's development and history, a colour profile artwork, photographs, key features and specifications tables. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, Tanks is a colourful guide for the military historian and military technology enthusiast.
At just GBP1999 it is excellent value-for-money, and would make a great present for any tank enthusiast young or old and offers a colourful guide to the world of tanks and technology behind them * Military Machines International 09/12/2014 * If what you want is a one stop reference for tanks over the last 100 years or so, this will give a varied insight into the variety there has been, and the quest to find that 'right' balance between the three needs of speed, protection and armament in any tank design. * Military Model Scene 12/01/2014 *
