This review is from: Tanks of the World 1915-1945 (Paperback)

I purchased this book first because it comes from a respected source on the matter and second because it covers an extensive list of countries besides the main ones involved in the WWII conflict and has plenty of pictures of most of all tanks involved in this period of history.

Have in mind that his is a general overview reference book which includes a picture and a small description with basic specs for every model. The main offering of this book is that you can learn which types were used by other countries apart from its original producer as well learn the different subtypes in wich every main tank evolved. Overall is a good starting reference book for all tank modellers and people interested in the subject.
