During the Cold War, the T-54/55 series of tanks represented the
most serious threat to Nato land forces in Europe. Available in
huge quantities, it formed the core of the Warsaw Pact armoured
warfare doctrine, which envisaged massed tank attacks against the
weakest point in Nato’s front-line defences.
Yet the T-54/55 could be stopped by smaller numbers of tanks which
had the benefit of better technology and training, as was
demonstrated during the Yom Kippur War of 1973 when Israeli tanks
dealt out appalling punishment to T-55s of the Syrian army. Despite
these limitations, the T-54/55 was one of the most successful tanks
ever produced, and this volume in the TankCraft series by Robert
Jackson is the ideal introduction to it.
As well as tracing the history of the T-54/55, his book is an
excellent source of reference for the modeller, providing details
of available kits and photographs of award-winning models, together
with artworks showing the colour schemes applied to these tanks.
Each section of the book is supported by a wealth of archive
photographs.
