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.
