Authored by two of Britain's most authoritative military historians, Ian V. Hogg and John Weeks, this encyclopedia chronicles hundreds of vehicles across all major nations, detailing their specifications, operational histories, and battlefield roles with precision and depth.\n\nThe work stands as a definitive testament to the mechanisation of modern warfare, illustrating how the internal combustion engine irrevocably transformed military strategy and logistics on a global scale. Hogg and Weeks write with the clarity and confidence of seasoned experts, balancing technical rigour with an accessible narrative that draws in both the casual reader and the dedicated scholar. Richly detailed and exhaustively researched, this volume remains an indispensable cornerstone of any military history library — and a compelling reminder that behind every great campaign stood an army of extraordinary machines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572594741467,"sku":"2026200018815-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9e0f48b9-1157-4b94-90d6-13da7892ff76.png?v=1791166902","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018815-secondhand-the-illustrated-encyclopedia-of-military-vehicles-the-vehicles-of-the-armed-forces-in-the-20th-century-wheeled-and-tracked","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
