Synopsis: Tanks in the Winter War is a unique book. Certainly there have been shelves of books written about the Winter War, but none have described the Soviet units and their efforts, and none have described the tanks used in the conflict.

This book is based upon Russian sources and therefore stands out remarkably from other books on the market about the Finnish Winter War. You are given a concise account of the Soviet units, their equipment and the commanders and operations. You also get an account of the Finnish defense, the fortifications, the obstacles, the mines and the armours etc.

Furthermore; the only tank battle of the Winter War, the battle of Honkaniemi, is described in detail. The ‘Tanks in the Winter War’ is a must for all who are interested in what happened in Finland during World War II and is destined to become a collectors item!

Review: “...a very worthwhile volume of a unique, early WWII period and will prove a great reference for any Russian armor buff.” (IPMS)

“A one- stop, very inspirational coverage of another one of those “overlooked’ corners of WWII. “ (Military Scale Modeler International)
