Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This is the definitive book on German armor for those interested in World War II. Edwards adds to a concise survey of the war in Europe and Africa histories of each of the Panzer armies, organizational details of armored formations, and descriptions of the supply and service units and equipment, including air and artillery. Supplementing the text are numerous maps and charts, as well as nearly 200 photographs. The format will appeal to the specialist (e.g., order-of-battle information and maps). This well-done reference is a needed supplement to histories of the war. For larger libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book Concerning Armoured Warfare, December 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Panzer: A Revolution in Warfare, 1939-1945 (Paperback)

This book has everything a buff could need. Its all about the usage of "Blitzkreig" tactics in WW2 and how the aspects of war were changed forever using tanks and mobile infantry in cooperation with aircraft and artillery. It covers everything. History, Tactics, Tanks & Vehicles in profile, Generals and other important people, Outlines of all the Panzer Divisions, and post-D-Day Day-by-Day accounts are all included. Aircraft and Mobile infantry forces are also covered. Not in hardcore detail like other books, but it is still a very good book worth the money (if its available).

This review is from: Panzer: A Revolution in Warfare, 1939-1945 (Hardcover)

I found this older book in my local library and had to have it. It is worth every penny, unlike other books on the topic. It covers a little bit of everything other than just panzers themselves. Well done and laid out, plus it's not the same pictures and materials normally seen in everyone else's books. Buy with confidence! opinion from: WWII buff and collector of books on this subject.
