Tank: The Definitive Visual History of Armored Vehicles (DK Definitive Transport Guides) Review: Arguably, the Best Tank Book Available … - TANK: THE DEFINITIVE VISUAL HISTORY OF ARMORED VEHICLES is yet another exquisite addition to the growing library of DK/Smithsonian books. If you have any interest in the subject matter (tanks), this is most definitely THE book to get. DK has mastered the art of creating encyclopedic books that “pop” with visual “eye candy”. Regardless of the subject matter, I find it hard to open up any DK book and not want to scan through it in entirety … even those books aimed at children. The combination of DK’s presentation and the wealth of artifacts provided by the Smithsonian is something I find hard to ignore. I’ve been looking for a solid all-encompassing book on tanks for years. I knew my search ended as soon as I saw the DK and Smithsonian logos on the pre-published book cover; I immediately pre-ordered. The book arrived today and was everything I hoped and expected it would be. As a 40-year student of World War II who also enjoys playing World of Tanks, I am confident this book will satisfy anyone with a craving for reading/understanding armored vehicles. Not a single page of the books 250+ pages is wasted. Presented in a chronological manner that pretty much starts with the early 1900s to present day … the thorough nature of the book doesn’t forget to spotlight Da Vinci’s armored vehicle drawing. Following the traditional method DK uses to present material, the chapters are grouped by significant periods in the history of tanks. Each and every page is laden with original (not archived) color photos that beautifully illustrate most every facet of tanks/armored vehicles all the way up to today. While the book is wonderfully rich in photographs, the accompanying text and factoids add to the books informative value. Throughout the book are numerous two-page spotlight sections that pay special attention to key innovations, innovators, vehicles and events in tank history. What I particularly liked was that iconic vehicles are highlighted and each is given a multipage spread that includes a highly detailed photographic examination of that vehicle’s interior and exterior (including the Sherman, T34 and Tiger tank). Even experimental tanks are covered and presented in vivid color (my only “complaint” would be that the infamous “Maus” didn’t get more attention). There really isn’t ANY downside to this book … it informs and entertains. TANK is a “must have” if you are interested in modern military history or tanks. The Smithsonian contribution is what really packs the book’s punch … the collection of photographs give you the experience of visiting a museum. I have several DK/Smithsonian “Definitive Visual History” books in my personal library and view them as indispensable resources. Each and every volume offers an exhaustive study of the subject matter with stunning visual support; TANK is yet another fine addition to this wonderful series of books. Review: Great Quality - Absolutely amazing pictures and facts. My son wore out his older one and had to get another.

My son wore out his older one and had to get another. Great price quality made ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It made my history buff husband happy for Father’s Day! *by D***. on June 26, 2024* You know ladies how hard it is to think of something unique and different, but not too expensive to get for your husband on Father’s Day? Well, if your husband is into history, especially military history, this book will make him excited! This book was put together by the Smithsonian so it is top notch quality and information! The illustrations are extremely well done!!! It doesn’t have a lot of reading long passages in it, but it is thorough enough so it can be enjoyed. My husband puts together models of tanks, ships and airplanes of the wars. So, he knows a lot about tiny details. We usually buy him a model, but his eyesight and skills are not as good now, so when he asked me this year, “What tank model are you giving me for Father’s Day?” I then started looking on Amazon, saw this book and thought, “That’s Perfect!” My adult daughter presented it to him and a smile came over his face immediately! Of course he began telling us all the details of the tank on the front of the book right away, which told us this gift was the perfect one for him! ## Frequently Bought Together - Tank: The Definitive Visual History of Armored Vehicles (DK Definitive Transport Guides) - Aircraft: The Definitive Visual History (DK Definitive Transport Guides) - Firearms: An Illustrated History --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/40853886-tank-the-definitive-visual-history-of-armored-vehicles-dk-definitive](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/40853886-tank-the-definitive-visual-history-of-armored-vehicles-dk-definitive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
