T-34/76 & T34/85 in Combat: The Red Army's Legendary Medium Tank (Images of War)

It could be said that the T-34 was the tank that won the Second World War. In total 57,000 were produced between 1941 and 1945. Stalinâ€™s tank factories outstripped Hitlerâ€™s by a factor of three to one, and production of the T-34 also exceeded that of the famed American M4 Sherman.

Not only did this output swamp German panzer production, the T-34 was a robust no frills war-winning design â€“ easy to manufacture and reliable. Its sloping armor was innovative at the time and its wide tracks suited it to off-road warfare. Crucially it required little maintenance in comparison to German tanks, and its chassis was used as the basis for a range of assault guns, the SU-85, SU-100 and SU-122.

Anthony Tucker-Jonesâ€™s photographic history of this exceptional armored vehicle follows its story through the course of the war, from its combat debut against the Wehrmacht during Operation Barbarossa, through the Red Armyâ€™s defeats and retreats of 1941 and 1942 to the tide-turning victories at Stalingrad and Kursk and on through the long, rapid Soviet advance across Ukraine and Byelorussia to Berlin.

As well as a range of rare archive photographs and photographs of a surviving example of the T-34, the book features specially commissioned color illustrations.
