The tank and MBT development programs pursued by the United States and its NATO allies, as well as by neutral Switzerland and Sweden, are documented and described in detail.
The discussion of these weapons in the context of the 1960-1975 period includes the evolution of successful and unsuccessful designs. This book by MP Robinson and Dick Taylor examines the history of the first Western Main Battle Tanks designed in that period. The fifteen years after the Second World War saw the technology of tank design advance by leaps and bounds, resulting in the concept of the Main Battle Tank (MBT). Historic military book with numerous photos and 220 profiles.
