This review is from: The Greenhill Armoured Fighting Vehicles Data Book (Hardcover)

After reading this book I would not recommend it to the military professional or the enthusiast. While the cover gives the indication of a fully detailed accounting of all major armored vehicles that have served or are in service, the author lets his readers down in a number of different areas. First although a very large number of vehicles are covered, information on each is scant. Secondly there are no pictures or illustrations of the different armored vehicles covered. And lastly the organization of the book leaves alot to be desired. It appears haphazard and the breakdown between tanks, tracked apc's, wheeled apc's etc... is at best confusing. In summation it was a worthy attempt but in the end this book misses the mark.
