Another new Images of War title from author Ian Baxter, concentrating on perhaps one of the most famous tanks of WW2, the Tiger, and their Heavy Tank Battalion units. The book starts with an Introduction and a few pages of text which provides some background to the Panzerwaffe in the years 1941-42, and the introduction to service of the Tiger 1 in 1942. Then it moves into a series of chapters which are accompanied by their own set of appropriate archive photos, a format familiar to anyone who has seen the Images of War books before. They are organised in a chronological sequence, covering the Tiger on the Eastern Front and North Africa in 1942-43, then Sicily and the Eastern Front in 1943. Chapter 3 deals with both Eastern and Western Fronts in 1944 before rounding things off with the Last Year of War 1944-45, which includes the Tiger II and Jagdtiger as well. Usefully the photos take in all the support units and equipment that accompanied the Tiger units, including lighter tanks such.. Read more

I have read quite a few books in this series now and this is another great addition. The text is easy to read and informative throughout and the images that have been chosen are excellent.
The book is fine to read as a stand-alone, or it can also be used to encourage the reader to look in to more around the subject, and that is what I like most about this series – indeed this was one I picked up to find out more and it was perfect for what I needed. It is 4 stars from me – highly recommended!!

This volume may be of interest to Archaeologists of all persuasions and aviation and military Historians, Readers with an interest in the Royal Air Force, the Battle of Britain and general military history and aviation, may also find it worthy of their attention. Despite the photographs being monochrome in format, aircraft modellers may find some of these useful for reference purposes.

This offering from Pen and Sword and authored by Brooke S Blades follows the US military through the Ardennes to the end of the war in Europe and so covers highs and lows of the war as it affected US forces. The text is worth taking the time to read if you want an idea of what was happening and when. The photographs are a mix of ones I have seen on several occasions to some I have never seen before; those showing just how much damage can be done to a Sherman would make you want to be infantry.
