Israeli
Half-tracks is the most comprehensive history of any Israeli Defence Force
vehicle in print. In two volumes totalling 394 pages, it presents a detailed
account of the many designs in IDF service and their combat history over six
decades and many Arab-Israeli wars. The text is complemented by a staggering 750
black and white and colour photographs, mostly previously unpublished and
sourced from official and unofficial collections. They provide in unprecedented
detail a visual feast for the modeller and vehicle enthusiast, and include much
interior detail of a staggering number of designs, the vehicles in training, in
combat and preserved in museums. The vehicles are seen a number of roles: troop
transports, mine clearers, engineering vehicles, anti-aircraft defence, command
and communications vehicles, mortar carriers and much more. Israeli Half-tracks
Volume 1 covers Israeli half-tracks and modified vehicles (including Sandwich
Trucks and Armoured Cars) from 1948 to 1959. Israeli Half-tracks Volume 2 covers
Israeli half-tracks and modified vehicles from 1960 to the present, and includes
a short section on captured BTR-152 wheeled APCs. Tom Gannon’s work is a tour de
force, and an essential addition to any self-respecting vehicle
library.
