Armored Units of the Russian Civil War: Red Army by David Bullock

Armored Units of the Russian Civil War: Red Army by David Bullock this is a short Osprey title on armored trains, armored cars and tanks used by the Red Army while fighting the Russian Civil War and conflict with Poland. what's here is quite brief the narrative tends to break down into lists of specifications and designations. I would have preferred more on the tactical employment of the armored trains. They're mentioned quite frequently but besides using them as command posts or to move securely through hostile territory I'm not too sure what good they were.

Supposedly this is the first book in any language on this material. As usual there are pictures and artwork on just about every page. There is attention to detail particularly with the different numbering systems used during the wars.

Recommended!

Is available through Abebooks.
