## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent resource on an important British AFV
  

*by M***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2006*

I have several other Vanguard books by Simon Dunstan, and he does a great job of briefly but comprehensively explaining the development history, deployment, and combat performance of the Challenger 2 tank (CR2).  What I enjoyed reading most of all was the detailed description of the logistical challenges in deploying the CR2 in Oman and Iraq and the combat performance of the CR2 in Iraq in Operation "Telic", where the CR2 distinguished itself in urban fighting and encounters with T55 tanks. Dunstan goes into detail in describing the combat operations of the CR2 in battles such as the assault on Az Zubayr and the Battle of Basra. It was interesting to find out how the lack of availability of spare parts greatly hindered the performance of the CR2, both in the deployment exercises and in combat. The CR2 is one of the few battle-proven new generation tanks along with the Challenger 1, the M1 Abrams, and the Merkava. (Other new generation tanks such as the Leopard 2, Leclerc, and the Ariete have not been tested in combat)Dunstan does an excellent job of covering so much information in 48 pages. The only info that I wished he could have covered was how the CR2 compared performance-wise with rivals such as the M1 Abrams, the Leopard 2, the Leclerc, and the Ariete. I highly recommend this book for military history/weapons enthusiasts, tank buffs and modelers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good book, despite what people would have you believe
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 16, 2015*

This is probably the best Challenger 2 book out there. However, just because it's the best, it doesn't mean that it's fantastic. Dunstan (who I am a great fan of), talks about the developmental history excellently. The rest of the book seems to be primarily of combat histories. Many people seem to be expecting a technical reference, and you're not exactly going to find that anywhere because this tank is so secret.I would still recommend this book because I think its contents are good to know if you're interested on the Challenger 2.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good read with some useful information
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2020*

This book is a good read with some useful information in it.  There's a sense of national pride that comes out of it all, which isn't present in for example the Abrams manual.
