The AMX-30 was France's principal battle tank for over 30 years and
continues to serve the French Army in later forms even to this day. In
this first work of a two volume study examining the history of the
AMX-30 battle tank, M.P. Robinson describes the development and
introduction to service of this long serving weapon system. Photographic
coverage in Volume 1 is focused on the AMX-30B gun tank, its service
life and the supporting vehicles that served alongside it in the Arme
Blindée Cavalerie in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Over 150 color
and black and white photographs tell the story of this tank in its
environment, as well as in detail, for the historian and modeler alike.
