In contrast to the experience of the armies that fought in Europe and North Africa, in the Far East tanks remained an infantry support weapon, and their role is often neglected in histories of the conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJapanese armor confronted tanks deployed by the Chinese, Russians, British and Americans. Early in the war, against Chinese forces which lacked armor, the Japanese had some success, but their light and medium tanks were no match for their Allied counterparts. Later Japanese designs were better armed, but they were built in such small numbers that they could do little to stem the Allied advance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe role of armored vehicles in each theater of the war in the Far East is shown in a selection of over 150 rare wartime photographs that record armor in action in China, Manchuria, Mongolia, Malaya, Burma and during the battles fought for the Pacific islands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Tucker-Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147385167X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473851672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Anthony Tucker-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079811395839,"sku":"9781473851672","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffd7c553-656a-48ad-a5be-0dbcad8d01c0.jpg?v=1685483281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armoured-warfare-in-the-far-anthony-tucker-jones-9781473851672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
