ReviewsThe photos are well selected and show great detail. Most come from official documents and are clean, focused, well developed with proper highlights and shadows and contrasts., Since this is part of Casemate's illustrated series, there are a ton of well chosen period photos of all the types mentioned...I learned a lot and isn't that what these books are for?, ...a very comprehensive and lavishly illustrated history of the M8 and M20 armored cars. The amount of work and research needed, boggles the mind. But ultimately it brings you a luxuriously presented and easily readable book., This book will be a boon for modelers, vignette, and diorama builders. The table of contents outlines the level of detail found within the subchapters' pages. The photographs are worth the price of the book alone., The photos of front-line usage show a variety of stowage measures used by troops in the field, which is quite handy for modelers instead of the photos of factory-fresh vehicles., The archival images illustrating the details of both models throughout the volume will benefit restorers and modelers making this an important addition to our understanding of historic military vehicles.
