First seen during the American Civil War and later appearing in the Franco-Prussian War and the Anglo-Boer Wars, the armored train came to prominence on the Eastern Front during World War I. It was also deployed during the Russian Civil War and the technology traveled east into the Chinese Civil War, and the subsequent war with Japan. It saw service on the Russian Front in World War II, but was increasingly sidelined because of its vulnerability to air attack. Steven J Zaloga examines the origins and development of the armored train, focusing equally on the technical detail and on the fascinating story of how armored trains were actually used in combat. This title will appeal to armor, military history and railroad enthusiasts alike.… (más)

Good book on a topic I find interesting -- not a whole lot more information than is freely available online and readily found through google searches, but all in one place. A bit of overarching analysis, but not a whole lot. ( )

An abbreviated but very informative review of the use of armored trains in combat from the civil war through today. A great reference for wargaming. ( )

In this 48 page reference book, Steven Zaloga, author of a myriad of reference books on the arms and equipment of World War 2, examines the armored trains of the eastern front during World War 2. Armored trains were used extensively in World War 1, and the successor states of the collapsed German, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian empires used them subsequently. Both the newly independent Poland and Soviet Russia used them in their war in 1919 to 1920. During the interwar years Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union maintained armored train units that were used during the fighting in World War 2.

On the eastern front, both the Germans and Russians continued the use of armored trains, with surprising effectiveness. The Germans used captured Czech and Polish trains as well as newly built models. The Russians used them extensively, both older and newly built models. For the student of the eastern front, this book will be a welcome reference tool. ( )

The revolutionary impact of railroads on the world's armies in the 19th century encouraged the development of various types of armed trains. By the time of World War I (1914-18), armored trains were one of the growing variety of armored vehicles that took their place alongside armored cars and the first primitive tanks.
