"Period photos, informative color drawings and action illustrations season this superb study. Sidebars, biographies, statistics, analysis, list of primary and secondary sources, and index complete contents." -- David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com (May 2013) "In this book by David Higgins, we get a good look at the development of these vehicles on both sides of the conflict, It is interesting that the brass of both nations were not sure these were a good idea. We are then given an opportunity to see what these tanks were like from a technical stand point and what they were like to operate. We then go into combat with them where these tank's positive and negative traits are discovered.
It makes for a fascinating look at these weapon's earliest days and see from whence the modern Main Battle Tank developed. It is another superb title in Osprey's Duel series and a book I know you will enjoy reading. Highly recommended." -- Scott Van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com ".offers military collections a fine account of the first deployment of the Germans' own design, and is a fine recommendation for any military history holding interested in the machines of conflict.
