The Second World War was not in vain christened “tank” – it was armored vehicles that played a decisive role in it, often determining the outcome of battles, operations and entire campaigns. The winged phrase of Guderian “Victory is following the trail of tanks” for decades ahead became the main slogan of the modern war, re -announcing the beginning of a new tank era.
Over the years of World War II, about 230 thousand tanks of various types and brands have left the world factory workshops. It is simply impossible to understand all this diversity without a systematic approach. More precisely, it was impossible – before the publication of this unique encyclopedia.
About a thousand photographs and schemes, detailed information about 110 brands of light, medium and heavy tanks of 13 countries of the world (not only their performance characteristics, but also an analysis of combat use, and assessment of opportunities) – this fundamental work of the leading specialist in the history of armored vehicles has no equal in our country or abroad.
