IDF Reviews

	Israeli Armour in Detail Israeli Defence Forces Armoured Corps Museum at Latrun by WWP Daniel Petz and Jan Mostek
	Reviewed by John Myszka

• full colour book of 36 pages
• accuracy of colour reproduction generally very good
• most vehicles get only one photo taken from eye level (6 foot above ground)
• large number of inaccurate captions (should be read in conjunction with other sources for more accurate information)
• some of the captions errors are propagated from Verlinden's book on the IDF Shermans
• includes vehicles in the museum that were not used by the IDF (eg Ferret and Saladin)

It should be understood that Latrun is a growing museum and is collecting vehicles from all over the world and not just concentrating on IDF vehicles alone.

For a book to be titled "in detail" you would expect several photos of each vehicle, certainly including top views and possibly interior views.

The book retails for about £7.95 and is available from most specialist booksellers.  I got mine from Barbarossa Books.

VERDICT: It does add to the knowledge of IDF vehicles but could have been a lot better.
