During the Second World War the British infantry found itself
lacking suitable transport to cope with the fast moving German
Blitzkrieg tactics. Various stop-gap measures were introduced with
mixed success but, with the pots-war nuclear biological and
chemical threat, it was imperative that a robust solution was
found. The FV300 and FV400 Cambridge carriers paved the way for the
introduction of the AFV430 series in the 1960s at the height of the
Cold War. Initially a basic armoured personnel carrier, the series
grew to cover a multitude of roles; command, recovery, mortar,
Swingfire and remote mine clearing to name but a selection. Over 50
years later variants are still in service. This classic Images of
War book not only describes in words and images the AFV430 series
but traces the development of infantry carriers for the British
Army.
