What the critics say:

'I would see it as a must read for all serving personnel and everyone interested not only in combat and service support vehicles but also in the overall development of the Defence Forces from its foundation.'

'…a beautiful encyclopaedia…not just a vehicle record but a social history of the Irish Army.'

'The variety of vehicles covered within the book is fascinating in its own right, ranging from early Rolls Royce and Peerless armoured cars and Crossley touring cars of the 1920s, to the modern-day trucks and armoured vehicles. …an excellent book that I found both fascinating and informative and one that I know will serve me well for many years to come'.
