Thomas Anderson's Tiger offers a tightly focused history of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I, tracing the tank's birth from German design bureaus to its fearsome role on Second World War battlefields. Drawing on original German archival material, the book explains why the Tiger's size, armour and long‑range firepower made it both a tactical heavyweight and a logistical challenge, and it assesses combat employment, mobility, mechanical performance and the operational impact of the many modifications and variants that emerged as the war progressed.
Presented as a specialist, illustrated military monograph, this first‑edition volume (Osprey’s General Military series, Bloomsbury, 2017) is richly supported by rare photographs and technical drawings that illuminate design detail and field use; the author's expertise in German armoured warfare and use of archival sources make the book a valuable technical reference and collectible for historians and armour enthusiasts alike.

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.
