1-254010

Packed with rare and unpublished photographs, this is a new history of the Red Army's tracked artillery tractors that were pivotal to its success in World War II. Tells the story of how they suffered horrendous losses in the opening months of the war but continued to be built, and their numbers were bolstered by Lend-Lease tractors, primarily of American origin. There has been a resurgence of interest in recent years in these military workhorses and wrecks have been exhumed and restored, while Soviet factory and operational records have also become available. Fully illustrated throughout in color and black and white.
