Summary: A Comprehensive Catalog of Tanks
Comment: With a scope as broad 30 years of tank development over two world wars, most books would focus on the most numerous and historically significant models produced by the major combatants. Chamberlain and Ellis have taken a very different approach. Their work describes every known tank model and variant used anywhere in the world through 1945 and illustrates nearly every variant with a photograph. If you want to know, for example, what Argentina's locally-made Nahuel tank looked like, this is the place to come. At the other extreme, you will also find at least 75 captioned photos of different American and British variants of the Sherman tank.

With over 1000 entries, there obviously isn't room for a lengthy description of each tank. Most tanks are described in a short paragraph that concludes with the usual statistical summary: weight, dimensions, armament, armor and crew. In addition, for each of the tank-producing nations, there are several introductory pages describing that country's armor program in general. The book concludes with a brief bibliography and a set of metric/English conversion tables.

For its comprehensive coverage and wealth of illustration, Tanks of the World 1915-1945 is a highly recommended reference work.
