The book, Tanks Illustrated No. 23: British Combat Vehicles Today, represents a concise but complete pictorial review of the important role played by combat support vehicles to a modern army on the move.  This book specifically illustrates the diverse range of equipment that provides the logistical support to the British Army.  The importance of logistic and combat support vehicles to a modern, mechanized army cannot be understated.  The effectiveness and firepower of the main battle tank, as well as, the mobility of the infantry fighting vehicles would be compromised if the there were not sufficient combat support vehicles to provision this fighting force.  As the author points out, whether, as in the Falklands War, where the logistic train is 8,000 miles from the home base or only thirty miles from San Carlos to the hills overlooking Port Stanley, the smooth uninterrupted flow of materials up to the front lines is essential to the prosecution of the war.  In addition to an informative narrative and photograph captions, "Tanks Illustrated No. 23: British Combat Vehicles Today" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 116 black and white photographs and 2) About 16 color photographs.  This book is likely to appeal to the "arm-chair" general, military historian and the modeler alike.  This book is 72 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author is Simon Dunstan.  Edition published in 1986.
