{"product_id":"centurion-robert-jackson-9781526741349","title":"Centurion: Armoured Hero of Post-War Tank Battles","description":"The fifty-ton British Centurion tank, developed during the darkest days of the Second World War, was designed to outgun and outperform the latest German tanks, such as the formidable Panzer V Panther. It was one of the most successful tanks ever produced, and this volume in the TankCraft series by Robert Jackson is the ideal introduction to it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Centurion came into service too late to test its ability in action with German armor, but in the postwar world it earned a fearsome reputation in action during the many conflicts of the Cold War era, from the Middle East to Vietnam. Nearly 4,500 were built, serving with the armies of some twenty nations. The Centurion's chassis was also adapted to fulfill a variety of tasks, including armored recovery, bridge-laying and guided weapons carrier. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs well as tracing the history of the Centurion, Robert Jackson's book is an excellent source of reference for the modeler, providing details of available kits and photographs of award-winning models, together with artworks showing the color schemes applied to these tanks. Each section of the book is supported by a wealth of archive photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526741342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526741349\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 01\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 8.10w x 0.30d","brand":"Robert Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096955986175,"sku":"9781526741349","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/centurion-robert-jackson-9781526741349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
