These included armored cars, armored personnel carriers (APCs), anti-aircraft vehicles and self propelled artillery. Over the Cold War years nations both progressively developed series of AFVs and introduced entirely new ranges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPCs, vital to all frontline units, evolved from machine gun-armed battlefield taxis such as the US M113 and Soviet BTR-60 series into sophisticated infantry fighting vehicles. The Soviet BMP-1, US Bradley M2\/M3, West German Marder and British Warrior and CVR series were classic examples of the latter, with numerous variants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Soviet BRDM-2 series was the most numerous armored car. The British Army fielded the Saladin, Ferret and Fox and the German Army introduced the eight-wheeled Luchs and tracked SPZ11-2 Kurz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarly anti-aircraft vehicles, such as the American M42 with two 40mm Bofors, were superseded by the formidable Soviet ZSU-23-4 Shilka and the West German Geopard with radar-guided guns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis authoritative and superbly illustrated book covers the full range of AFVs in service with NATO and WP armies over the four decades of the Cold War. It will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of the expert and layman alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399019716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399019712\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\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Michael Green","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302127399167,"sku":"9781399019712","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c8009c0-e939-42f1-9514-080dfedc950b.jpg?v=1695159667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nato-and-warsaw-pact-armoured-michael-green-9781399019712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
