Schopenhauer’s Workshop, Chris Pflueger

Overall, this edition of Images of War provides a comprehensive history of two symbolic German tanks that put much fear into the hearts of Allied and Soviet soldiers. These two vehicles demonstrate how a small number of high-quality vehicles and expert crewmen can have a significant psychological impact. From early development to the end of the war, this book will give readers fascinating details that should make them hungry for more materials.

The author has done a very good job of encapsulating this history into a
remarkably small space and matching the fine illustrations...

The very fine Images of War series does what it claims on the cover
and delivers a great selection of very rare images. It also provides
excellent concise text. As a result, this new book will appeal to a
very wide readership and is highly recommended.

The narration is accompanied by photographs in black and white throughout the work, so a small collection includes 23 colour illustrations of different models and variants with various designs of camouflage adds. This is a useful and interesting narrative for modelers of tanks book.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and readers looking for the basic history of the Tiger will find this an excellent starting point without all the technical details.

This is a concise, profusely illustrated discussion of the tanks use in battle, along with a lot of fascinating details, from paint schemes and anti-personnel protection to the development, qualities and failings of rare variants like the Elefant, Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger.

This is a concise, profusely illustrated discussion of the tanks’ use in battle, along with a lot of fascinating details, from paint schemes and anti-personnel protection to the development, qualities, and failings of rare variants like the Elefant, Jagdtiger, and Sturmtiger. The book is dominated, of course, by the images. The photos and color illustrations (by Brian Delf) will be of great value to modelers as well as armored vehicle enthusiasts. A chapter on fighting in the tanks, and one on fighting against the tanks, provide valuable insight from crewmembers describing the battlefield realities that exist beyond the cold statistics of gun caliber and armor thickness. It is one thing to know that the Ferdinand tank destroyer lacked a machine gun to use against enemy troops; it’s quite another to read of a crew desperately firing an MG-34 down the barrel of their 88mm gun in an effort to repel attacking infantry.

For the armor enthusiast, this book makes a fine introduction to the Tiger tanks or complement to other volumes. For the lay reader, Tiger I & Tiger II provides a succinct but potent blend of words and images that may be all that is needed to describe these legendary armored fighting vehicles and their battlefield history.

[Contains] a series of the colour illustrations, beloved by model makers, illustrating colour schemes for different areas of operation.

This Images of War Special gives us an entertaining look at the royal family of WW2 tanks with some excellent photos  – the usual mix of well and lesser known – in the format we’ve come to know. Anthony Tucker-Jones does his usual job of telling the story of the armour and it all cracks along in much the same way as his other books do. If you like this sort of stuff you’ll be quite happy.

The extra ingredient is a series of really nice colour plates by Brian Delf, showing Tigers, a Ferdinand and a Sturmtiger in a range of camouflage schemes. I think this adds a dimension to these books that really helps the package. As ever with AT-J we get snaps of the opposition to the Tigers in the form of the Allied tanks and guns that had the task of stopping them.
