French Tanks of World War II (2) - Cavalry Tanks and AFVs

The sequel to French Tanks of World War II (1), this title focuses primarily on France’s cavalry armored vehicles.

Steven J Zaloga explores the light reconnaissance tanks such as the AMR and AMC families, the famous Somua S.35 cavalry tanks and the extensive array of armored half-track and armored cars used by the French cavalry. Specific attention is also paid to tanks considered important from a numerical standpoint such as the Hotchkiss H-35/H-39 series.

Featuring specially commissioned profile artwork, photographs and illustrations, French Tanks of World War II (2) provides detailed insight into the background and design of these tank types and presents a brief, yet thorough assessment of their performance during the Battle of France.
