A detailed, illustrated history of the Israeli tank force, from the early wars for independence to the streets of Gaza in 2024. 

This is the complete history of Israeli tanks and tankers, stretching from the First World War to the present. Included are hundreds of excellent photographs, maps, tables, and charts. Beyond all of that visual and technical information, the authors have also included a detailed narrative history of the Israeli Armored Corps and its precursor organizations. All the key leaders are profiled and the major battles and missions are detailed. 

The IDF is exceptional not only in its combat record but also in the variety of vehicles that it has adopted, including both domestic and foreign designs from all over the world. These include the American Sherman and M60, the British Cromwell and Centurion, the French AMX-13, and finally the native Merkava, just to name a few.

Authored by two veterans of the Swiss Armored Corps who traveled extensively in Israel for their research, this definitive volume is a must for tank fans and modern military historians.
