		The eight Vickers tanks were to be used as armored observation vehicles for the brigade’s artillery formation, while the Fiat-Ansaldo tankettes were to be employed as armored ambulances and as ammunition carriers.
		Fighting broke out and an infantry regiment belonging to the Bulgarian 4th Division, which was supporting the Armored Brigade, was badly mauled.
		The Brigade never had to face an enemy armored unit, and for this reason it was probably never really put to the test, but it was feared, and greatly so, by the German infantry in the valleys and mountains of Serbia and Kosovo in the fall of 1944.

		Although the cover shows only WW2 era vehicles, the book DOES cover from WW1 to the present day, and even has mention of some of the "less" (or in some cases UNARMORED) armored vehicles such as the Jeep and the "Deuce and a half" cargo truck.
		A military vehicle book, with a scope as large as this one, has a few glaring ommisions such as the M26 Pershing and the Russian KV-2, while at the same time,containing many varients of modern Chinese armor, British "funnies" from WW2 as well as many varients of German WW2 halftracks.
		Additionally, the author interdicts his opinion in several instances as fact in regards to which vehicles are better than the others instead of allowing the reader to draw that conclusion for themselves, which I felt lead to the book occassioanlly being self-contradictory.
