| Abstract
|
:
|
"The Soviet Army hastily developed the T-62 in a struggle to compete against the rapid proliferation of NATO tanks in the 1960s. It was essentially a modification of the widely manufactured T-55 tank with the addition of a new 115 mm gun. Within the USSR itself, the T-62 was quickly superseded, but it was widely exported, becoming a critical component of the Egyptian and Syrian armies in the 1973 Yom Kippur conflict and heavily influencing later designs of the M1 Abrams and Challenger tanks. This first English-language history of the T-62 examines the development of the tank using detailed combat descriptions to bring to life its operational history from the deserts of the Sinai to the harsh terrain of Afghanistan"--Page 4 of cover.
