Japanese Tanks 1939-45: No. 137 (New Vanguard) Paperback – Illustrated, 1 Aug. 2007

Stephen Zaloga's books in this series are normally worthwhile but this is one of the best, dealing as it does with a fairly obscure subject succinctly and well within the New Vanguard 48-page format. In particular there is coverage both of the 1930s AFVs that quickly fell into disuse (notably the early tankettes) and the late-war developments that could have given Japanese armour a better chance had they been developed in numbers or even left Japan. Recommended.

Good

Just what I was after

Classic osprey format, all you want to know and plenty of illustrations to go with a very informative text. Bit of a niche subject but well presented and easy to read. Useful for model makers, wargamers or those just interested in the subject.

A mine of information about a difficult to find subject.

Good overview of a neglected subject

Useful book just as expected.

The book itself was fine. A great guide to types of Japanese tanks used during ww2. The only issue I had was that the book was quite badly bent, making it uncomfortable to read.
