This book provides the reader with the full and unvarnished story of the
origins, development, decades of service and combat history of the
Chieftain Main Battle Tank. The text is interspersed with numerous
photographs, many published for the first time, alongside color profiles
and scale plans, including those of rare and unusual variants. It also
relates the experiences of the crews who lived and worked on the
Chieftain, often described in the irreverent style typical of British
Army humor.
