2.0 out of 5 stars
"Armoured Firepower" shoots a dud.,
By Ray King (Morgan Hill, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Armored Firepower (Hardcover)
While advertised as a book on AFV weaponry, this is really just a standard history of tank development of the war years. Its jacket boasts of "five highly detailed appendices" (1 for each of the main countries covered) yet none of them carry the armor penetration of the weapons. I found it amazing how little information could be packed in 250 pages. If you are looking for a book on weaponry, Chant's "World Encyclopedia of the Tank" has essentially all the information contained in "Armoured Firepower" and contains info on all tanks, from WW1 through the present. It is a much better buy.

"Armored Firepower" Misfires,
By A Customer
This review is from: Armored Firepower (Hardcover)
If you're looking for a detailed history of tank weapontry, this book is not for you. One of the few I ever sent back. I thought that it would contain details on the main guns, sights and gunnery techniques each country used during WWII. It seems that much of the material here was already covered in David Fletcher's "Tank Scandal" volume 1& 2. If you are looking for a primer on tanks in WWII, it's ok.
