Fully illustrated with a mixture of dramatic archive photos and
manufacturers' images, this volume covers the little-known history
of riot control vehicles. It explores the world of these vehicles
from 1945 through to the present day - from adapted military
armoured cars such as the Humber Pig (UK) and BRDM (Soviet Union)
to the fully computerized systems of the Russian Lavina-Uragan and
Canadian INKAS Armored Riot Control Vehicle - showing how their
development and deployment has blurred the lines between civilian
actions and military operations. It charts how the vehicles have
evolved in terms of technology and layout, and also details how the
associated weapon systems have been refined over time, from water
cannon and tear gas launchers to subsonic sound waves and microwave
energy. The operational history of the vehicles is explained in the
dramatic context of major incidents across the world, from the
streets of Northern Ireland and Eastern Europe to the favelas of
Brazil and the battlegrounds of Iraq.
