This highly illustrated reference book opens with a history of armored fighting vehicles, covering the 60-year period from the start of the Cold War to the present day. The first section focuses on the vehicles that were developed when nuclear and chemical weapons were first introduced on the battlefield. Following this, a substantial A to Z guide to AFVs provides details about each vehicle, all entries being accompanied by wartime or museum photographs, mostly in color. From the Humber Pig to the Rooikat Armoured Car, the most important AFVs from around the world are described and illustrated.
