Conceived at the height of World War II, the British Centurion and
the Soviet T-55 were initially expected to counter the formidable
Panther and Tiger tanks of Germany. But as the Cold War unfolded,
these machines prepared instead for the coming struggle between
NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Though they never fought in Europe, these
two tanks became the mainstay of the Cold War's proxy forces around
the world. From Korea to the Middle East and on to Angola, these
two armored combatants clashed repeatedly, reaching their crescendo
on the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War where 177 Centurions
of the IDF took on a vastly superior Arab force. This book compares
the design, development and deployment of these classic tanks, and
analyses their battlefield performance. Presented with highly
detailed digital artwork, this is a tightly focused study of two of
the Cold War's first main battle tanks.
