Centurion Vs. T-55

CONCEIVED AT THE HEIGHT OF WORLD WAR II, THE BRITISH CENTURION AND THE SOVIET T-55 WERE INITIALLY EXPECTED TO COUNTER THE FORMIDABLE PANTHER AND TIGER TANKS OF GERMANY. BUT AS THE COLD WAR UNFOLDED, THESE MACHINES PREPARED INSTEAD FOR THE COMING STRUGGLE BETWEEN NATO AND THE WARSAW PACT. THIS BOOK COMPARES THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND DEPLOYMENT OF THESE CLASSIC TANKS, AND ANALYZES THEIR BATTLEFIELD PERFORMANCE.
