All of this is amply illustrated with period black and white photographs. Mostly of Panthers, as you'd expect, but also occasionally of other vehicles that were found in Panther units, like Pz IV, half-tracks and numerous other vehicles, from cars and trucks to armoured cars. Many of the pics will be familiar to grizzled armour buffs, but many aren't.



All in all a solid entry in this series. Well worth having.

A Question of Scale

He describes the actions and organization of the Panther units in a straightforward and readable text and his captions for the abundant photographs add considerably to their value. As for the photographs, they are a nicely balanced selection of Panthers in various situations across the theatres, along with their supporting vehicles – Panther modelers will not be short of inspiration. All in all, this is a solid addition to the Images of War series and a good read for German armour buffs.

Beating Tsundoku

This offering from Pen and Sword as part of the Images of War series is another great release and covers one of the tanks that has a huge following; the Panther tank. The author has done a good job of presenting these images in a manner that helps the viewer find what they are looking for and so get the most from what is offered. An aspect that I like is that the photographs present different aspects of the Panther and its crews which appealed to me greatly.

It makes for not only another superb addition to the series, but is one that I know enthusiasts and modelers will use for references.

This is another beautiful book that joins the immense collection of the "Images of War" series, a series of the highest level with very clear photos and certainly of interest to historians and modelers.

On The Old Barbed Wire

This particular book in the Images of War series has around two hundred black and white photographs that follow the Panther Tanks and their development, I would say it is predominantly photographs obviously, with maybe slightly less supporting information about the events and campaigns. Which is perfectly fine as much of these books must overlap a bit, put the text and information is still excellent and very well written. The author Ian Baxter, is a well-known and much published author who is an excellent writer. In fact from reading these Images of War books, my knowledge and interest in tank warfare has come on greatly. I know thoroughly enjoy a good book about tanks. This book is excellent with first class photographs and the specifications section near the back is great. Definitely a 4.5 star read and highly recommended.

UK Historian

As ever with this series, we are offered concise narrative that allows the images to convey the real story. A good presentation that features the technical elements of this formidable tank, as well as interesting images of operations predominantly on the Eastern Front.
