This lavishly illustrated
volume details the design, development and operational history of
British tanks from the end of World War II through to the present day.
This
book, the last in a four-part series on British Battle Tanks covering
the whole history of British armored warfare, concentrates on those
vehicles that have served following the end of World War II up to the
present day.
Starting with the Centurion, the title explores
those types that equipped the armored divisions lined up on the German
plains to resist any potential Soviet offensive, as well as in Korea and
Suez, including the Conqueror, and modern tanks such as the Challenger 2
which are still in service today. Covering the many variants of these
and other tanks in British service as well as their deployments around
the world, including in Afghanistan and Iraq, this illustrated volume is
a comprehensive guide to the development of British tanks since the
Second World War.
