When mechanised warfare transformed the battlefield of the twentieth century, no force could succeed without mastering the machines of modern conflict. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Military Vehicles is the definitive reference work chronicling the full spectrum of armed forces vehicles — wheeled and tracked — that shaped military history from the early 1900s through the Cold War era. Ian V. Hogg and John Weeks, two of Britain's foremost military historians, present an exhaustive survey of tanks, armoured cars, half-tracks, trucks, and specialist vehicles drawn from armies across the globe, illustrated throughout with detailed technical drawings and photographs. The work stands as an authoritative testament to the authors' combined expertise in ordnance and military technology, delivering precise specifications, historical context, and operational histories for each vehicle covered. Hogg's encyclopaedic knowledge of weaponry pairs seamlessly with Weeks' mastery of armoured warfare, producing a volume that rewards both the casual enthusiast and the serious researcher. For anyone who has ever wondered what drove the armies of the world to victory — or defeat — this encyclopedia holds the answer.
