The PzKpfw IV was essentially an integrated support weapon, and its involvement in WWII is difficult to separate from the story of the Panzerwaffe as a whole. A powerful and robust fighting machine, the PzKpfw IV was supplied to various allies of Germany, and remained in service with the Spanish and Finnish armies for some time after the end of the war. In the glory years of 1942-43 the PzKpfw IV was the mainstay of the Panzerwaffe, and Bryan Perrett's in-depth examination of this prolific fighting machine does full justice to the fascinating history and technical details of one of the greatest armoured vehicles ever to have fought.

Good value for the money ~ Written on Aug 14, 2000. 9 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
This title is typical of the New Vanguard series. It packs good value for the money, and it includes: colour profiles of uncommon subjects (incl. early model in Normandy and a Syrian tank), detailed cutaway, a brief development history with all the variants being described, and operational history inclusive the post-war use by Syria. Very good reference for modellers, specially if used in conjunction with the Squadron in action book. The only information I really miss in this book are scale plans.
