Printed in the now normal format of A4 landscape it has in its high quality pages the following. 109 black and white photographs of varying quality do not let this put you off. The quality of the photographs is as high as the original will allow. It is just that some of the photographs were taken using very early photographic equipment and one must make allowances for this. Over 85% of the photographs are new to us in the west. It has 5 side illustrations in colour with 18 sets of 1/35scale plans of outstanding quality.

It plots the development of the early Russian tanks with the Russian copy of the Renault FT 17, MS -1, T-18, T-12 concept Tank, T -24,Tankettes, and Tracked Tractors.

Now for the first time one can study the history of the Early Russian Tank Force in English but the true wealth of it is contained in the photographs.

Not only for Armour fans but also for figure sculptors and model makers, here are the true uniforms as worn in the field.

It will rewrite all the previous books on early Russian tanks and clarify the misconceptions previously published as gospel. It is going take many hours of serious research for the true potential of this book to be realised. I will also help greatly in cross-referencing and amending previous articles in books published by the so-called experts from the west.

This I list on the must have if you are into Early Soviet Armour it is truly a wonderful reference book and will result in many hours of pleasure.

I know that personally I will be using it a heck of a lot as it has given me so many ideas for models.

Buy it now, as it is a limited print run.

Many thanks to Alexander Egorov for advance review copy.
