Recenzii
By its nature, the book is fairly technical, but explained clearly and with fine supporting photos and diagrams. Of particular interest to wargamers will be the tables giving 'hit' and 'kill' probabilities for NATO and Soviet anti-tank weaponry against main battle tanks, based on official systems that reflected target size, armour, ranges, etc, with some comparisons that may surprise you. A quality publication.
The author has spent around 45 years working in the field of military vehicle/equipment research and development and that experience shines through in this book.
An excellant resource for those interested in Cold War British Armour
As one would expect the book is lavishly illustrated, with photographs of those vehicles that were actually constructed and plans for most of those that weren't. Well written and lavishly illustrated, this is an excellent guide to the mainly successful military vehicles designed at Chobham.
