253 pages, colour and black and white images throughout, supporting text, hardback book with dust cover. 

The book opens with Acknowledgements, an introduction, then the subject of the title, broken down into six chapters alternating between NATO and Warsaw Pact vehicles, covering Infantry vehicles, Reconnaissance and anti-tank vehicles, then self-propelled artillery and sir defence vehicles. 

I will draw your attention to 'Notes to the Reader', under acknowledgements, point 1, in full: "Due to the book's size and format, this work can only be a very broad over-view of the subject. The book concentrates on those armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) taken into service and the large number of prototypes constructed by both sides."

OK, full disclosure here, I did not read this book cover to cover; quite simply I got bored after the first few chapters and it became a struggle after that. 

The book itself is well researched... but brings nothing new to the table by way of information, facts, or analysis. It does not serve as a reference for modelling, the images are dated and readily available on the internet; and, it is too brief to be used as a reference for the development of Cold War AFV.

I did get all nostalgic looking at the images of the M2 Bradely and reminisced about the Tamiya kit I made back in the 80s. And the LVTP, too. There were others, but this is not the place. 

The book is ok and would have been more relevant in the 90s; recommended if you really need a book on NATO and Warsaw Pact AFV of the Cold War period.
