REVIEWS

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. The color artwork for each one that forms the cornerstone of each vehicle that is covered makes for an interesting and attractive looking book.
