Customer Reviews

Interesting but hardly engaging3
Samual Katz's style tends to frequently include references to how further information is secret or restricted which becomes a little annoying as does some of the drama of his prose. Otherwise the book brought together much of the information available on this system as well as some interesting insights into its development. There is the usual high standard of illustration to be found in Osprey books. Well worth getting to complement books on comparable tanks form elsewhere.
