Fighting Vehicles presents a compact, comprehensive history of the machines that revolutionized land warfare in the 20th century, tracing armoured development across nations with particular relevance to Second World War technology. Combining concise technical summaries with visual profiles, the book emphasizes tanks, self‑propelled guns and other combat vehicles, offering readers an identification‑focused narrative enriched by a fascinating collection of photographs — many rare contemporary shots of tanks in operation — alongside drawn plates that reveal design and operational context.
Produced by Chris Ellis and Peter Chamberlain and published by Hamlyn in 1972 (later impressions 1973–1974), Fighting Vehicles (ISBN13: 9780600334811) functions as a technical reference and illustrated identification guide: photographic and drawn plates, vehicle indexes, basic technical data and pictorial profiles provide quick reference for historians, modellers and collectors, while its international scope and Hamlyn military‑series presentation make it a succinct, visually driven resource on armoured warfare.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
