The Royal Armored Corps' composition may have changed dramatically
during the four and a half decades of The Cold War but its role in the
nation's defense has been predominant. This highly informative book
focuses on the deployment of the British Army's armored regiments from
the end of the Second World War, their vehicles and equipment, the
creation of the British Army of the Rhine, NATO commitments and other
peripheral missions. The characteristics and variants of the Centurion,
the powerful but short lived Conqueror, the Chieftain and Challenger are
covered in expert text and by numerous images. The RAC in the Cold War
is a tribute to the men who served in these famous regiment and their
stories make fascinating reading.
