The American M47 Patton is one of the least known tanks of the Cold War, but in this meticulously researched new book well-known US vehicle historian David Doyle reveals its history. With the real threat of World War III imminent, the M47 was rushed into production in 1951 as an interim improved medium tank. Thankfully, the feared global conflict was averted, and for the United States, who developed the M47, it proved to be an interim tank indeed, serving for less than a decade. But for many of the nations across the world who fielded it, the M47 soldiered on for many years - with some still in service as late as 2024. This feat is made even more impressive when the story of the struggle of its development and production, which was far more convoluted than many other military systems, including many far more complex, is fully understood. This 96-page softcover book, based almost entirely on primary source documents and lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished images, reveals the history of the M47, one of the longest-lived armoured fighting vehicles. It is an essential addition to the library of modellers, vehicle enthusiasts and historians alike.

The M113 and M113A1 Armoured Personnel Carrier. The M113 family includes more than 80,000 vehicles worldwide across more than 40 variants. As one of the most widely used combat vehicles in the world, it plays a role in the militaries of at least 44 countries. This book looks at the early history of this iconic Cold War warrior. First entering service in 1960, and until the advent of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle decades later, the M113 and its updated successors served as the standard armoured personnel carrier of the US Army for much of the second half of the twentieth century. Based almost entirely on primary source documents and lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished images, well-known US vehicle historian David Doyle reveals the early history of the M113 APC, one of the most numerous and versatile of all armoured fighting vehicles.
