1-205420

The AMX-30 was France's principal battle tank for over 30 years and continues to serve the French Army in later forms even to this day. In this first work of a two-volume study examining the history of the AMX-30 battle tank, Robinson describes the development and introduction to service of this long serving weapon system.

Photographic coverage in Volume 1 is focused on the AMX-30B gun tank, its service life and the supporting vehicles that served alongside it in the Arme Blindee Cavalerie in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Over 150 color and black and white photographs tell the story of this tank in its environment, as well as in detail, for the historian and modeler alike.
