A Gem Indeed

When you think of gems, what do you think of? I think of small and pricey. And, that is about right for this book. The content is good: a single black and white picture per tank, its specifications and a short history. The tanks are divided by nation and listed somewhat chronologically. There is quite a bit of information packed into this little book. On the down side, the book lacks an index, and covers only one model of each tank (for example the German Pzkw IV shows the specifications for only the H model). In most respects this is a very nice little reference, but you will need something bigger for a complete reference. P-)
