This fully revised and updated book serves as an authoritative guide to tanks and their immediate derivatives, including tank destroyers and armored recovery vehicles. It traces the history of tank design and evolution, from its initial deployment during World War I at Flers to its dominance on the battlefields of Europe during World War II, and even to the powerful combat vehicles of the 20th and 21st centuries seen in recent conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine.
The book is organized into two directories: one spanning from 1914 to 1945, and the other from 1946 to the present day. Within these sections, there are detailed entries for approximately 230 tanks, each accompanied by a comprehensive description, historical background, and a specification panel that provides information on the tank's crew, weight, dimensions, armament, armor, powerplant, and performance.
To enhance the reader's experience, the tanks are vividly illustrated with over 650 photographs, many of which are exclusive to this volume and originate from the renowned Tank Museum at Bovington, Dorset, UK. These photographs offer a unique perspective on the evolution and design of these formidable machines, providing a visual feast for enthusiasts and history enthusiasts alike.
