Title: Tankograd's new Leo 2 book is a better value
Product review: There is nothing wrong with this Osprey title if you are paying original list price or less and you just need a short well written general history of the vehicle through 1998. However, you would be insane to pay the current lowest new/used price of close to $50(as of 7Aug09). A 2009 Tankograd book by Frank Lobitz "Kampfpanzer Leopard 2: Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank Development and German Army Service" covers the Leo 2 in much better detail and includes the most recent variants. Frank Lobitz's new book lists at $85US, which maybe more than some can budget, but at 320 pages with 679 photographs, 97 graphics and 2 four-view 1/35 scale drawings and with coverage from the earliest prototypes to the latest A6Ms + future modernization efforts as currently displayed by the Demonstratoren and the PSO/UrbOps, the new Tankograd book is a better value.
