Red Iron in the Holy Land: The T-34/85 in Arab-Israeli wars

Andrey Firstov

Throughout Israel’s early wars, the battlefields of the Middle East often yielded a remarkable variety of captured enemy equipment. Among the most notable were Soviet-built T-34/85 tanks, once the backbone of several Arab armies. This book presents a detailed photographic record of these captured tanks as they appeared in Israeli hands. Drawing from archival
material and period photography, it documents the tanks’ origins, capture, and subsequent use or evaluation by the IDF.
A valuable resource for modelers and armor enthusiasts alike, “RED IRON IN THE HOLY LAND” offers a rare glimpse into an unusual chapter of postwar armored history.

The book includes:

  • 234 pages with numerous color photographs

  • More than 20 walkarounds of various surviving T-34 tanks
     

Price is 39$ + shipping.
