Von Kleist, one of Hitler's best panzer commanders, described the T-34 as "the best tank in the world." There could be no higher praise from a panzer commander who experienced its fierce assault on the Eastern Front. Undoubtedly, the T-34 was one of the best tanks of all time, and in this volume of the TankCraft series, Robert Jackson tells its story. He describes its inception in the 1930s, its development during the Second World War, and its post-war deployment in more than thirty countries within the Soviet sphere of influence. His book is an excellent reference work for modelers, providing details on the available kits, as well as artistic depictions showing the color schemes applied to the T-34 by its operators worldwide. Photographs, many in color, illustrate the T-34 in action, and there is a section dealing with the range of armored vehicles built using the T-34 chassis. Robert Jackson's introduction to the T-34 is essential reading for tank enthusiasts and modelers.
