Jack Livesey chronicles the origins and evolution of these mechanical warriors, delivering a comprehensive A-Z guide that spans armoured cars, personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, and a vast array of AFVs drawn from more than a century of mechanised warfare. With over 700 photographs, the volume places each vehicle in its historical and tactical context, making it as visually arresting as it is informationally rich.\n\nLivesey's command of the subject is evident in the meticulous detail he brings to every entry, illuminating the engineering ingenuity and strategic imperatives that shaped armoured vehicle design across nations and eras. The book serves equally well as a reference compendium for the serious military historian and as an absorbing read for the enthusiast, bridging the gap between technical manual and narrative history with remarkable fluency. Whether you seek to understand the Cold War arms race on steel tracks or trace the lineage of today's battlefield titans, this volume delivers answers — and raises questions that will send you straight back to its pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50620327067867,"sku":"9781844779444-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f43f860f-7f81-485a-933b-06bc390e947c.png?v=1791873358","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781844779444-secondhand-the-illustrated-guide-to-armoured-fighting-vehicles-of-the-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
