The Small Wars 1945-1989

by George Balin

Published 30 July 1990
The Military Vehicles Fotofax series takes its first look at the land armour of the lesser armies of the world. With large scale warfare reducing in the post-war period, much of the new land armour deployed during the period has been in Third World regions and minor conflicts. Here a leading observer of the international scene illustrates and describes the diverse equipment used in these skirmishes. Modellers, in particular, will appreciate this rare study of the small wars. George Balin is based in New York and has been associated with defence consultancies and media services for some years. His speciality is the small combatants in post-war action.
