Excellent- More about NATO and Warsaw Pact Armoured Fighting Vehicles of the Cold War
During the Cold War, NATO and Warsaw Pact (WP) armies fielded a wide array of armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs), including armoured cars, APCs, anti-aircraft vehicles, and self-propelled artillery. APCs evolved from machine gun-armed battlefield taxis to sophisticated infantry fighting vehicles, while early anti-aircraft vehicles were superseded by the Soviet ZSU-23-4 Shilka and the West German Geopard. This book covers the full range of AFVs in service with NATO and WP armies over the four decades of the Cold War.

During the Cold War, tanks were the most well-known armored vehicles, but NATO and Warsaw Pact (WP) armies also fielded a diverse range of armored fighting vehicles (AFVs). These included armored cars, armored personnel carriers (APCs), anti-aircraft vehicles, and self-propelled artillery. Over the course of the Cold War, nations developed and introduced new AFV series, as well as entirely new ranges.
APCs, essential to all frontline units, evolved from machine gun-armed battlefield taxis like the US M113 and Soviet BTR-60 series into sophisticated infantry fighting vehicles. The Soviet BMP-1, US Bradley M2/M3, West German Marder, and British Warrior and CVR series were classic examples of the latter, with numerous variants. The Soviet BRDM-2 series was the most numerous armored car. The British Army fielded the Saladin, Ferret, and Fox, while the German Army introduced the eight-wheeled Luchs and tracked SPZ11-2 Kurz.
Early anti-aircraft vehicles, such as the American M42 with two 40mm Bofors, were superseded by the formidable Soviet ZSU-23-4 Shilka and the West German Geopard with radar-guided guns. This comprehensive and beautifully illustrated book covers the full range of AFVs in service with NATO and WP armies over the four decades of the Cold War. It will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of experts and laymen alike.
