Summary: Excellent quick reference, but its small, really small
Review: This book is an excellent piece of reference material, it has not only all current main battle tanks, but also almost all armored cars and APCs in military service. Information is in-depth, though it seems to wander from time to time. Pictures are good, no black and white fuzzy shots, and lots of performance data for the size. That is another thing, although it does not detract from the reading experience, the book is literally tiny, about 3"x5". Once again a great book, solid content, small package, its $6.40, buy the book!

Summary: A brief but useful reference book
Review: Though very short, this little book is packed with useful facts about armoured vehicles , though limited only to a single photogaph. It is also a shame that it does not feature some of the more specialized vehicles such as self-propelled guns and engineering vehicles. For more detailed study, readers may invest in the recognition guide also by Jane's which features a wider selection of vehicles.
