The book is illustrated throughout with specially commissioned, magnificent, detailed full color photographs of vehicles collected and brought back to life by some of the leading restorers in Europe. This book will be of interest to all military vehicle enthusiasts and to vehicle modelers in particular. REVIEWS .,."While most reference books tend to focus on a specific vehicle type, this book examines a wide collection of vehicles used in the liberation of Europe. These came from the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, and formed an impressively diverse tapestry of vehicles. Each vehicle has at least one photo, with some of the more popular vehicles getting several pages worth of photo documentation. All of these are current restored vehicles found in various military vehicle societies, and the level of restoration is generally quite good. The added benefit from this is that the photos are quite clear and will be of great use for modelers."
