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unpublished and sourced from official and unofficial collections.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..
