| Summary: | "Counting from 50 down to number 1, Top 50 Tanks features the greatest armored fighting vehicles for their time, from World War I to the present day. Selected by the author, the book includes tanks from every era, from the British Mark V tank that assaulted the German trenches at Cambrai in 1917, through the feared German 'King Tiger' of World War II, as well as including some of the most highly sophisticated tanks that have seen recent service in wars in the Middle East, such as the American M1 Abrams and Israeli Merkava. From the Soviet KV-1 and German Panther tanks of World War II fame to the Japanese Type 10, French Leclerc, and Russian T-14 Armata tanks of the present day, Top 50 Tanks is a colorful guide to the most successful and effective tanks of the past hundred years. Each entry is covered over four pages, including a brief description and history, color artworks showing various views and models, photographs, and a selective specifications table. Packed with 300 full-color artworks and photographs and written for the non-expert, Top 50 Tanks is a fun and popular guide to the greatest tanks to see combat from 1917 to the present." |
