A revolutionary design, the BMP marked a significant departure from the traditional armoured personnel carrier, with a lower silhouette and heavier armament than rival APCs. One of the most fearsome light-armoured vehicles of its day, it caused great consternation on the other side of the Iron Curtain as the Americans scrambled to design a machine to rival the BMP. The result was the M2\/M3 Bradley. These Cold War icons first clashed  not on the plains of Europe, but in southern Iraq during the Gulf War of 1991. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork, this is the absorbing story of the origins, development and combat performance of the BMP and Bradley, culminating in the bloody battles of the Gulf War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \/Chronology \/Design and Development \/The Strategic Situation \/Technical Specifications \/The Combatants \/Combat \/Statistics and Analysis \/Conclusion \/Further Reading \/Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019908251991,"sku":"9781472815200","price":15.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781472815200.jpg?v=1750781688","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/bradley-vs-bmp-9781472815200","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
