Critics Review
there is good technical coverage of each vehicle in all its essentials * Miniature Wargames *
there are plenty of archive photos and some very neat artwork showing details such as the differing views through their gunsights * Military Model Scene *
Its clear structure and strong visual support make it both an accessible study of late-war armoured warfare and a valuable reference for modellers interested in the vehicles of Northwest Europe. * Maverick Scale Models *
I highly recommend this book to modellers, Second World War historians and enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to learn more about a lesser-known category of vehicles known as tank destroyers. * Aviation News *
