An all incompassing look at the progress of Russian tanks and other armoured vehicles. It also looks at unarmoured but specialised vehicles such as missile launchers, engineer's vehicles, tracked cargo carriers and tractors. It has a section of schematics and cutaway drawings to give a look inside some very interesting vehicles. The only letdown is the complete lack of colour, except for the (unusually) rather uninspiring painting by David Pentland on the dust cover. Do NOT let this put you off this book. I am sure that anyone with the vaguest interest in the subject will feel that this is a book that they cannot do without. Indulge yourself. Highly recommended.
