520			_aA 'gritty' history of the 4th New Zealand Armoured Brigade, from its formation in New Zealand through to its final campaign in Italy in 1945. Author Jeffrey Plowman is a well-established 'armoured' buff who has specialised in studying the history of New Zealand armoured fighting vehicles and units that used them. This history includes personal experiences from several crew-members of the various types of tanks operated by the brigade. These stories show the brutality of war from a 'tankies' perspective. Well illustrated, with black and white photos, maps and diagrams.
