WW II tank encyclopaedia in color : 1939-45

This fantastic book gathers together more than 500 colour drawings, profiles and three-quarter views, composing a vast compilation of Jean Restayn's work.

A great specialist of armoured vehicles, Jean Restayn, author, of works covering many subjects published in France and abroad, of a first collection of profiles (H&C 1996) and two books on the Tiger (H&C 2000-2001), is a world famous illustrator. Today, with this volume that brings together a great part of this work, the reader is offered an overview of the combat tanks used by all sides of the Second World War, which was the golden age of armoured warfare.

The reader will obviously find the most famous tanks such as the Tiger, the Panther, the various types of Panzer, the Sherman, the Churchill and the Soviet armoured'steam-roller'. But he will also discover the unjustly little-known French tanks and those of many countries that took part in the greatest conflict that the world has ever seen.
