This book covers the development of the Soviet armoured corps, its tanks, missiles and tactics and theories from the end of World War Two until the mid 1980s. In each case, the reasons behind the tank, APC or SP gun being required, the manner in which the requirements were met, and the actual success of the design in operational use are analysed, with examples and, as appropriate, in action accounts to give a rounded appraisal of the weapon system. The book is a comprehensive, mature study of the Soviet armoured corps which will place in perspective what was seen by many as the main threat in a confrontation in Europe.
