## Description

Buy Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank Manual: The Leopard 1 family of AFVs 1956 to 2011 (Owners' Workshop Manual) by Michael Shackleton, Mike Cecil (ISBN: 9781785216374) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Leopard 1 MBT - The book is written in the famous style of the Haynes car manuals. It covers the history of the development of the German Leopard tank in great detail. The text is highly authoritative, being written by Michael Shackleton, himself an expert on the Leopard tank. If you are a fan of the history of tanks and their development and you only have one book on the Leopard tank, then this should be the one! Buy it!!
Review: Ho hum ..... - A very 'by the numbers' and unengaging dry data dump history of the Leopard 1. This not a patch on other Haynes manuals like the ones on its direct contemporaries the Chieftain and the AMX 30. A monotone and frankly quite boring read with few operational anecdotes. No mention whatsoever of the tanks protection despite it having been out of production now for 36 years. Some great photos of course, and if ever one needed reminded of the excellence of German engineering the images of the neatly fitting engine under the open cowling bear witness to this. There's barely a few square inches not filled ! Usually I'm enthusiastic on these Haynes manuals on tanks but was quite disappointed in this one sadly. The best ones tend to have contributions from the Bovington tank museum in my experience. Learned very little of enduring or interesting information from this work
