Each entry includes a lively description and history, with a specification panel detailing the tank's official name and nickname, country of origin, dimensions, weight, armour thickness, armament, crew, engine type and description, power-to-weight ratio, speed, radius of action and fuel carried.
All the tanks are accompanied by identification photographs, many of which are full-colour and have never previously been published together in one volume.
This book is an authoritative directory of tanks and their immediate derivatives, such as tank destroyers, command versions, ARVs (armoured recovery vehicles), and "Funnies" such as amphibious tanks, mineclearers and bridgelayers.
