Format:Paperback
This is excellent quality, very informative and does what it says on the cover. It has a wide range of types of tanks and its not just tanks, theres armoured cars and howitzers. It has a lot of detail on every vechile. Worth a look if you are interested in military ground vechiles.
Format:Paperback
As per the other reviews I have to say this is another excellent book from Janes. Information is good and photos are clear. Major variants are also mentioned.
My only slight negative is the current version is now 4 years old and new vehicles have/will enter service that are not covered. Hopefully it will be updated soon and the same can be said for any book covering current topics rather than history.
