A study of the Soviet and NATO armored forces that faced each other
off in Central Europe in the early Cold War, and how their
technology, tactics, and doctrine were all rapidly developed. For
45 years, the most disputed point in the World was the dividing
line between East and West in Europe; here the use and development
of tanks was key. In this fully illustrated study, author Steve
Zaloga, describes how Soviet and NATO tanks were deployed in the
early years of the Cold War, and how a generation of tanks such as
the Soviet T-44/T-54 and IS-3, British Centurion, US Army M26/M46
Pershing (all developed during World War II) saw extensive service
after the war had ended. Initial post-war generation tanks
including the Soviet T-54A, T-10 heavy tank, British late-model
Centurions, Conqueror, US Army M41, M47, M48 and the French AMX-13
are examined in detail alongside the most important technical
trends of the era: the development of shaped-charge anti-tank
projectiles, the influence of anti-tank missiles, and the
introduction of chemical/nuclear protection and night fighting
equipment. The book also considers the influence of post-war
doctrine and tactics on tank technology and the effect of regional
conflicts such as the 1950 Korean War, the war in Indo-China, and
the 1956 Mid East War on tank warfare.
