5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Catalog of Tanks, April 15, 2003
By Steven Davis (Rowlett, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With a scope as broad 30 years of tank development over two world wars, most books would focus on the most numerous and historically significant models produced by the major combatants. Chamberlain and Ellis have taken a very different approach. Their work describes every known tank model and variant used anywhere in the world through 1945 and illustrates nearly every variant with a photograph. If you want to know, for example, what Argentina's locally-made Nahuel tank looked like, this is the place to come. At the other extreme, you will also find at least 75 captioned photos of different American and British variants of the Sherman tank.

With over 1000 entries, there obviously isn't room for a lengthy description of each tank. Most tanks are described in a short paragraph that concludes with the usual statistical summary: weight, dimensions, armament, armor and crew. In addition, for each of the tank-producing nations, there are several introductory pages describing that country's armor program in general. The book concludes with a brief bibliography and a set of metric/English conversion tables.

For its comprehensive coverage and wealth of illustration, Tanks of the World 1915-1945 is a highly recommended reference work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete reference for all armor, April 5, 2009
By Carlos KGR (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
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.
