Osprey - T-64 Battle Tank: The Cold War's Most Secret Tank

Great Osprey title

A very thorough overview of the development of this Cold War classic. Steve Zaloga always does a great job in these armour analysis titles and the photographs and drawings are excellent. The book is particularly interesting in its recounting of the problems caused by rival technical design bureaus and the intrusion of bureaucratic and political infighting within the Soviet defence establishment on the development process. The only thing preventing 5 stars is a lack of material on the T64's combat performance in Ukraine, which is covered but could have done with more depth given that this was the only time this vehicle has been used in anger.
