Book Description
The Tiger and King Tiger tanks gained legendary status during World War II. Numerous tank commanders attained phenomenal tallies of kills and accomplished extraordinary feats during combat in these tanks, building the legend to near mythic proportions after the war.
During WWII, the Germans created eleven Army and three Waffen-SS heavy tank battalions. These heavy tank battalions were employed in nearly every part of Europe against almost every enemy of Germany. As vast in breadth and scope as the employment of Tiger battalions themselves, Sledgehammers provides historical examples and analysis of heavy tank battalions' actions in North Africa, Normandy, Italy, the Ardennes Offensive, and numerous battles on the Eastern Front including Operation ZITADELLE/the Battle of Kursk, Operation BAGRATION, the battle of the Cherkassy Pocket, late war attacks to relieve Budapest, and many other more minor engagements.
Although a great deal has already been published about Tiger tanks' technical details and some of the units which used them, until now, very little has been written concerning the organization and tactical employment of these tanks throughout the German armed forces and across the theaters in which they were employed. Sledgehammers provides an in-depth look at heavy tank battalions' organizations and tactics, including the tactical doctrine by which these elite units were supposed to fight and how they were actually employed on the battlefield by their commanders and crews.
Even given the Tiger's reputation, many readers will be amazed by the fearsome casualties inflicted by the crews of many of these behemoth armored vehicles. It is safe to say that no other armored vehicle of the war wreaked as much havoc among enemy formations as Tigers. Many will, however, also find it equally stunning to learn of the Tigers' many technical and tactical vulnerabilities. Through the systematic use of extremely detailed primary source and other impeccably reliable research, Sledgehammers demolishes several major myths about Tigers in World War II.
Meticulously researched and written with the perspective and respect for Tigers' crews that only a professional tanker can bring to the subject, Sledgehammers synthesizes information to provide new and definitive insights into the strengths and flaws of World War II's most feared and legendary tanks.
Prologue by famed Tiger ace Otto Carius. Epilogue by Tiger killers Viktor Iskrov and Ray Holt.

Operational Analysis of Tigers........2007-01-09
This book features operational analysis of Tiger battalions. I was surprised to find concise maps of each operation in this book. While I am still reading it, I felt a brief positive review was in order.
sledgehammers: strengths & flaws of tiger battalions.......2006-08-03
great book, this is second one i got. first one i lost after barely reading it. love it. good stories about how individual units lived & fought
Fasinating reading.......2006-07-22
This book is a study of the German Tiger tanks. The writer starts with a brief summary of the early history of the tigers. Then goes on and discusses many battles that had the tigers. He then presents his conclusions that they were are great tank but the Germans never developed a proper military doctrinal guidance that could have used them. As such they were used mainly as tank killers. In this I think he makes a strong case.
However I am not sure that he has proven his case that the tigers were that much better tank killers compared to other German tanks. For example, I have read of some Panthers devastating Allied tanks too in figures equal to what he quotes of Tigers. Overall in both fronts for different reasons the Germans tanks tended to do better.
In the west the Allied tanks were deficient compared to German tanks in armour, mobility and armament. This can be seen as in August in Normandy the Germans had about 1,400 various tanks while the Allies had about 6,000. The Allies losses in tanks were about 3:1. Then put in all the allied air and artillery and you get a feel of the problem.
The Russian figures are disputed with wide range but its clear that overall the Germans lost far fewer tanks then the Russians. The Russian loss ratio is probably higher then the West.
Its an interesting question considering the high cost of the Tiger weapon system. Which the writer does discuss.
Overall the tiger, I wish had more description. The battles are well discussed. The maps are extremely good. I hope that other historians that use this book copy him in producing such maps. The book is certainly worth reading if you are interested in this subject.
Steve thinks that ..........2006-03-06
Very careful in the historical documentation. Very sharp in the critical assesment of the tactical doctrine underlying the battlefield deployement of the Tigers.
As advertised.......2006-01-12
This book is exactly what the title says it is. Very concise. Doesn't get bogged down in minutia. After reading it, I was amazed at just what was accomplished with these tanks. From other sources, I knew that Tigers and Tiger II's had maintenance problems. In no way did I realize just how extensive these problems were until reading this. Start the day with 45 operational tanks. Drive them 10 miles down a road, and have 6 tanks able to fight. But then attain a 10+ plus kill ration.
The author presents all this information very objectively, which is something I also appreciate.
Book Description
Warriors have long sought to combine protection and mobility in combat, from ancient chariots to medieval knights and armored wagon. It was the development of the internal combustion engine that allowed a vehicle to possess both features on the battlefield. The Encyclopedia of Tanks and Armored Fighting Vehicles is a definitive guide to over 1500 armored vehicles that have emerged from the first gasoline engine to the present day. In 1916, during World War I, the tank made its debut on the Western Front for the British, and the face of warfare changed almost overnight. In each nation's quest for battlefield dominance, many different types of armored vehicles have been produced, some more successful than others, all of which are covered in the encyclopedia, with each entry being accompanied by a photograph or artwork, full specifications and a development and career history. The book is divided into sections by country, with entries arranged chronologically. A detailed index is provided for easy cross-referencing. With such in-depth coverage of the subject, The Encyclopedia of Tanks and Armored Fighting Vehicles is an essential reference guide for anyone interested in the history of military vehicles.

very good.......2007-09-21
very good, concise and fairly exhaustive book coverign almost all of the tanks produced in the 20th century. a must have book.
only improvement would have been more on the main sub-versions of each model that was mass produced (i.e. Pz III, IV; sherman, T-34, etc.)
but a great book to own for any military history affecionado
Editing Needed.......2007-09-15
I think this book is good, but it could have been great. It is clear that the editing could have been more rigorous. I have found both technical errors (some of them painfully obvious) and typos in the text. Mediocre editing aside, this book is a good value compared to other reference volumes (Jane's for example). The author does omit some vehicle characteristics that I think should be included (like ground pressure). I hope that future editions will be scrutinized a little more before hitting the press.
Absolutely the best single volume reference on the market!.......2006-03-31
After having purchased hundreds of reference books on AFV's over the years, this is the book I keep going back to the most. From WWI up through modern, the sheer amount of information included is staggering, especially considering it features many designs you will not find in even more focused collections.
As an all-around resource on the subject, it simply can't be beat, if you can locate a copy, grab it while you can, as they are getting harder to find.
Superb work for those interested in classic armor.......2006-02-13
As was indicated in a previous review, if you need up-to-the-minute data on modern Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), this is not the book for you. However, that is just about its only weakness.
This superb volume is ideal for everyone from the casual 'military historian' to avid model builders and those who just want solid information on AFVs of all types from all nations.
Written in a no-nonsense style meant for the layperson, the text is informative and authoritative without being boring or overwhelming. Major design improvements are carefully pointed out, as well as models that fell flat on their tracks (or wheels).
The book is presented in encyclopedia format, with the largest division being country of origin. The AFV designs are then sub-divided into Armored Cars, Tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers and Self-propelled Guns. Each entry includes important data such as armament, weight, speed, crew, year of introduction and major variations. The vast majority of entries include at least one photograph.
As of the writing of this review, I have owned my copy of The Encyclopedia of Tanks and Armored Fighting Vehicles for slightly less than two years. I need a new one, because this one is worn out.
Whatever the reason behind your interest in AFVs, this book will entrall you. I cannot recommend it highly enough. A must-have for students of World War I and II tanks.
More coffee table than reference.......2005-05-27
I'm a big fan of anything Chris Foss writes, publishes or edits. His facts aren't always spot on - his deadlines for publication obviously have him rush and cut corners. I purchased this book in December 2003 and have spent many hours flipping the pages. Overall - I enjoy owning and reading this book.
If you are a hobbiest, enthusiast or historian of armored vehicles - this book is a lot of fun - filled with enough data of historical development and progression of armored vehicles - from every country imaginable - that you can lose many hours turning the pages.
I do not keep this book at work. As a defense contractor, historical data more than 40 years old is useless to combat simulation modeling (unless we're looking sub-Sahara Africa or Central Asia). There are many other unclassified pocket guides, and books that are more handy to use to identify and collect performance data - and to do my real world computer modeling.
Overall - I enjoy this book for it's historical data - it's a pleasure to read - and "re-discover" obsolete vehicles I used to operate - or commanded units of. Looking back across the years - one wonders what would have happened if I would have met my Soviet counterparts with their T-54/55 and T-62, T-64 or T-72's - with my M-48A3/5s, M-60A1 and M60A3 models.
Buy the book to enjoy and learn the history of every country's armored vehicle development programs. The historical prospective given by this encyclopedia gives one data to strike up conversations with military veterans and counterparts of all nations and compare data. Gives a good foundation to understand the combat results each of these vehicles gave the countries that utilized them in war!
A great (big) book better suited for the coffee table at home than the bookshelf at work.

Excellent book on Tanks & Armored Vehicles.......2007-08-06
Excellent reference resources. Good pictures and discussion. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the development of armored vehicles.
Essential for Tank buffs.......2007-04-05
This is truly a complete encyclopedia of Tanks from WWI to the Present Day. I own the Christopher Foss encyclopedia (Nov. 2002) and this encyclopedia is a lot more updated than that volume. For example, there is a lot more information and more recent photographs on the latest Chinese MBT, the type 98 tank. This volume also describes the latest Merkava Mk 4 tank. The most recent Russian tank, the type 90 is given a lot fuller treatment.
What I enjoyed the most are the wonderful photographs / color plates and descriptions for each tank and AFV. Notable tanks are given a feature article, such as the Panther, the Sherman, the Centurion, the Challenger I, the Abrams Tank, etc. I really enjoyed some of the feature articles that described the combat performance of these notable tanks. For example, for both the British Challenger I and the Abrams tanks, there was a brief feature article about how each performed during the 1st Gulf War.
Besides covering tanks, this reference also describes the various armored personnel carriers, light tanks, motorized gun carriages, along with specialized vehicles.
It is truly a monumental work. Tank buffs and modelers will love this reference!
If you are a fanatic about the world wars............2007-02-07
My husband is infatuated with army tanks (and anything else related to)from WW I and WW II. There is not a week that goes by that he is not reading about the war or watching the Military Channel. If you have any interest in the war, this book is very informative and the photographs are very well preserved. Educational at best!
Over 300 tanks and vehicles are presented in a pairing of vintage and action photos.......2006-10-15
Two outstanding references are top picks, packing in pages of value for their price tags and providing a wide-ranging history. Chris Bishop edits ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TANKS & ARMORED FIGHTING VEHICLES FROM WW I TO THE PRESENT DAY (159223626X): an exhaustive reference that may appeal to general readers, but is a special pick for military collections. Over 300 tanks and vehicles are presented in a pairing of vintage and action photos and detailed drawings, with descriptions including extensive and in-depth service histories of specs and tanks.

Tremendous Amount of Equipment Not Seen Elsewhere.......2007-03-22
Schiffer Publishing has been putting out a supurb series on German World War II armor. This one is on the non-production designs that were being worked on in Germany. It includes a large number of vehicles that have very rarely, if ever, been shown in the traditional books.
It is well known that the British (particularily) were highly effective at modifying the Sherman tank for special roles. Here instead are the German equivalents. Here are bridge layers and mine sweepers mounted on Panzer IV's. There are German attempts at armored ammunition vehicles and personnel carriers.
A specialty that I've not seen used by any other organization is the number of explosive charge carier vehicles. These vehiches have a large and powerful charge usually mounted outside the vehicle and the idea was to drive them up close to a fortification and either drop the charge for later detonation, or in the case of some small vehicles; just drive them up and set them off.
Finally there is a very good discussion on some of the really giant tanks that Hitler wanted built. This especially included the Porsche 'Maus' tank of which two were actually built. Only after the Eastern block broke up did the public learn that one example of the Maus is in the Russian Tank Museum in Kubinka.
This book has a wealth of pictures not seen anywhere else and with the other Schiffer books provides a complete description of German WW II Armor.
Book Description
The M4 Sherman tank was the mainstay of the Western allies between 1942 and 1945. Fast and modern it was better than most of the tanks Britain had to offer. The American Chief of Staff claimed in November 1943 that it had been hailed widely as ‘the best tank on the battlefield today’. However, by the time of the Normandy invasion of June 1944 this was not the case. The new heavy tanks being produced by the Germans were able to outclass the Sherman in both armour and armament. This title describes the development and operational use of the Sherman medium tank throughout World War II and beyond.

Too Short, Format Not so Good.......2005-02-16
Although I have invested quite a pot of money into Osprey publications, some of the series are better than others... one problem is if the subject matter is so long that it cannot be handled by the short page format.
This is definitely the case in this book: since the Sherman tank became the unfortunate defacto starndard for the western allies in WWII, it can potentially encorporate a lot of space and detail. Zaloga covers the advent of the tank and how it was put through it production paces. I also learned why the production run of the Lee-Grant tanks was so short --- it was an interim version between the Stuart and the Sherman -- the turret for a gun larger than the 37 mm had not been made, so the hybrid was the only way to get large amount of up-gunned tanks into the field (even if they did look wierd).
There is a lot of detail on the many versions but I did find a few things that annoyed me:
1) There is no detail on the "why" of the choice of the Sherman. Surely a tank as critically flawed and used as long as it is either being defended by misdirected intentions, or it really has some solid points.
2) Although British and commonwealth forces were using this tank in some of the largest engagements on the western front, there is little on the variations used by these forces. There is in addition no mention of any variations that may have been shipped to Burma.
3) As carrolary of the above there is nothing on the Firefly version with the 17 lber version of its gun. Certainly arguably the most worthwhile upgrade done on this tank.
4) No mention of the impact of model development and the impact on the field. The 17 pounder on the Firefly meant that the British and Canadians could match the Panzer IV and also, in score hits on the Panther and Tiger (though still outgunned).
A good reference but I think that there was just too much info and the Osprey format was just too short.

A fine collection of drawings.......2007-03-07
Mr. Bradford's name is very familiar to old hands in combat vehicle research. In this volume he has collected some of his fine plan drawings. The US military entered WW2 playing "catch up" in combat vehicles, but produced a huge variety of tanks vehicles. Mr. Bradford has helped sort some of the many styles and designs by presenting them in multi-view scale plan drawings. The drawings cover American combat vehicles such as tanks, armored cars, halftracks, Amtracs and self-propelled artillery from before WW2 to the war's end. A limited number of photos are included to support the drawings, but the plans are the essence of the book. Shading of the drawings helps make them easier to read. The plans are presented in popular model building scales. There is even a page of conversion percentages to allow the drawings to be enlarged or reduced to meet the needs of the purchaser. This volume is highly recommended for model manufacturers, model builders, historians and anyone with an interest in the technical development of vehicles.

What I expected..........2007-06-13
And I was expecting a lot. George Bradford is one of the best technical artists that I know of, and he didn't disappoint me in the least. I have really been looking for some good reference drawings of WWII vehicles. Most books have only a handful, and don't always include 4 views. This series of books really delivers on excellent accurate drawings. There are very few comments or photographs in it, just high quality line drawing goodness.
These are really indispensable for the serious WWII modeler. Whether you build plastic kits or create them digitally, these reference drawings are a Godsend. I use line drawings like these to create vehicles with a 3D modeling program for an online game.
There were a few models I would have liked to see that weren't included, but overall there are plenty of useful drawings for me in this book. I guess that not everybody will be 100 percent happy with the selections the author made, but who could really complain for the price?
I checked out a free example of a Pz IVE on the authors website, and I was getting ready to order some of these drawings online from him, but this series of books will save me a lot of money. Though I am planning on buying some of the other drawings that aren't in this series.
If you're not sure about purchasing, just search the book and examine the quality of the drawings. I'm sure you will be more than satisfied. As for me, I'm ordering the rest of the books in this series now!

5-star reference marred by key omissions........2006-08-05
Jane's is a recognition guide, and a fine one at that. It should be noted, however, that as a recognition guide, it is not a book about tanks and other fighting vehicles, so don't expect much text covering armored vehicle tactics, operations, capabilities, weapon systems, etc.
As a recognition guide, this book does provide sillouettes, line drawings, multiple color photographs, lists of key recognition figures and basic vehicle statistics in order to aid the reader in recognizing various modern armored fighting vehicles. Aslo included are lists of nations who currently use each model.
Surprisingly, not included in the latest version of the book are a handful of vehicles currently seeing extensive combat action and receiving a good deal of media coverage. These vehicles include the U.S. Army's Stryker wheeled APC (based on the Mowag Piranha and LAV-25), the Israeli Achzarit tracked "heavy" APC (based on the hull of the T-54 & T-55 MBT's), Puma tracked Engineer carrier, and low-instensity conflict tracked carriers Nakpadon and Nakpachon (all based on the chasis of the Centurion MBT).
All of the above are derivatives of pre-existing models which are covered by the book but, as in the case of the Israeli APC's, the modifications are so extensive as to make the resulting vehicles almost completely new in terms of components, performance, AND appearance. You've probably seen all of these vehicles quite recently on the national news but you will not be able to find them in Jane's. The omission of these almost completely new vehicles is therefore quite surprising.
Furthermore,the book does include other derivitive vehicles (many Chinese and eastern European vehicle entries are little more than locally manufactured variants of Soviet/Russian designed vehicles) so the above mentioned omission are rather difficult to justify. Therefore, I've given this edition four stars instead of five. Otherwise, it is a fine reference.
Aside from the omissions discussed above at length, the current edition of Janes Tank Recognition Guide is chock full of information and color photos and is a must-have reference for any "tankspotter" or military gearhead.
Think TANK........2006-07-01
Chris Foss's Book is simply dazzling by the good quality of the photos,drawings and the ton of information he offers. Displaying an enviable knowledge and comprehension of these weapons platforms, , he helps the Neophyte, the Model maker , as well as Armed Forces Researchers and Historians.After reading the passage on each vehicle, especially the finely crafted "key recognition features" Blue inset, we feel we know the vehicle inside out, and can sometimes trace the project back to its inception.Dare look at these toy -looking weapons platforms and understand their pacifying or terrifying power.
For anyone who wants to know how troops and massive firepower can be mobilized and moved very fast, and a decisive factor in the new types of conflicts that may arise in the Twenty First Century.Francois BARDOL
Not "strykingly" complete.......2006-06-18
The Jane's Recognition Guides used to be complete. But this latest version of the Tank guide misses the mark. For one thing, there's no mention of the Russian "Black Eagle," which should be included even if it's only a one-on prototype; with a turret unlike any other USSR or Russian MBT, it might show the direction the Russians are thinking. But a much more glaring ommission: there's no mention at all of the US Army's multi-purpose Stryker 8-wheel combat vehicle, which is seeing a lot of hot action in Iraq and (perhaps) Afghanistan this very minute. There was a 30-minute TV show on it just the other night on Military Channel. Army troops are being quoted praising the Stryker. Again, the politically cancelled Crusader armored heavy self-propelled gun should at least be mentioned, and a a drawing included -- IF Foss and Jane's/Smithsonian want to be complete. Other countries' on-line or upcoming AFVs also are missing. I hope the 5th edition (what -- three-to-five years off?) is more complete.
Amazing tank guide.......2006-06-16
This book is simply amazing! It includes everything! With two exceptions: the japanese LAV 4X4 and Type 96 8x8 APC. Other than that it is complete. I just wish that mr. Watts had made the Warship Guide like this one!
Book Description
The T-34 was the most influential tank design of World War 2. When first introduced into combat in the summer of 1941, it represented a revolutionary leap forward in tank design. Its firepower, armour protection and mobility were superior to that of any other medium tank of the period. This superiority did not last long. While the T-34 underwent a series of incremental improvements during 1943, it was being surpassed by new German tank designs, most notably the Panther. This title traces the life of the original T-34 through all its difficulties to eventual success.
Book Description
After breaking out of the Normandy beachhead during the D-Day invasions of June, 1944, General Patton lead his Third Army as they pushed through France to liberate Paris, then on to the Rhine. Newly discovered photographs, taken by an OSS officer who was Pattons chief of intelligence, reveal the determination of Pattons Third Army in the wake of stiff German opposition.

A Poorly Written Pictorial History of Patton.......2007-10-17
There are so many things wrong with this book, it is hard to know where to start.
First, the book description provided by the publisher is wrong. This is not a book based upon previously unpublished photos of an OSS officer attached to Patton. Instead, the photos in the book are based primarily on archival photos of divisions that served under Patton (e.g., the 2nd and 4th Armored Divisions). No credit is given anywhere in the book to any photos by any OSS officer, or any chief of intelligence, of Patton's.
Second, the book does not cover just the period from "D-Day to Victory." Rather, about 40% of the book covers Patton from his experiences in World War I through the invasion of Sicily and the slapping incidents that almost doomed his career. (I.e., pages 1-64 cover Patton prior to D-Day; and pages 65-158 cover Patton from D-Day to his funeral.)
Third, the book is very poorly written. Many sentences (and even entire paragraphs) do not make sense. There are numerous sentence fragments. There are numerous obvious editing errors (such as, on many occasions a sentence will use the article "the" twice in a row: E.g., "The drive continued to the the river." or "The crews needed the the rest."). There are numerous obvious errors in dates (such as, "in January 1945 Patton was called to England to prepare for the D-Day landings in June 1944").
Fourth, many captions for the photos misidentify the vehicles pictured or provide an incomplete description (e.g., an M3 tank is misidentified as an "M4 tank").
Fifth, the photo captions in the book contain innumerable quotations from reports by American officers in the field on the superiority of the German tanks over the American tanks while the text of the book repeatedly claims Patton's tanks routinely defeated the German tanks (it seems about 5 German tanks were blown up for every 1 American tank). The book contains no explanation for this discrepancy.
The book does contain some interesting photos, such as a picture of the damage to the 1939 Cadillac in which Patton was injured after the war (which injuries paralyzed him from the neck down and lead to his death). In addition, the text of the book overall does a credible job of providing a brief biography of Patton and his exploits, provided the reader can get through the sloppy writing and editing. Nonetheless, there are too many drawbacks to this book for it to receive anything but a poor rating.
Best Author.......2003-01-13
Michael Green is one of the best authors I have come to read, especially for military subjects. I have been a fan of all types of military/war books simply because politics is interesting for me. Michael Green has written a number of books on this subject all of which are considered my favorite. This book is well-written and gives clear, concise information. It also contains and array of astonishing and breath-taking photographs, liek in all of Green's books. I wish I could meet this wonderful author and congratulate him on his job well done. My wife and I both know that these books are at the top of my shelf!
