Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Seminal study   April 12, 2008
For the first time, a team of international researchers (one American and two Russians) brings together the story of the armored units of the White Russians in each battle theater. These are the first color depictions of White armored trains world wide. Tanks and armored cars are also examined as well as their impact on the Russian Civil War. Even here, the authors and artist break fresh ground, providing the first examples of tanks and armored cars not seen before, carefully constructed from period photographs and contemporary descriptions. Amazingly, not one of these armored pieces remains inside Russia today in pristine, or indeed, other form. Dr. Bullock has devoted years of collection toward this topic. Mr. Deryabin, son of a famous Soviet general, is literally the founder of studies involving the White Armies. Mr. Aksenov is Russia's most renowned illustrator of armored subjects. Highly recommended. Superb collection and resell value should this edition ever go out of print. Collectors' item!


2 out of 5 stars Dry read...only for serious students   January 18, 2006
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Historical value as it helps preserve a less well known aspect of military history.
Mention of many meaningless Russian units that would need complementary explaining.
Again Osprey has started a subject somewhere in the middle instead of laying a proper foundation first.
Hard to resell...
Not recommended unless a serious student of subject.
