Whether of high intensity between regular forces, or low intensity confrontation and counter-insurgency, this book gives an account of conflicts in the jungle, from the Japanese invasion of Western territories in 1941-2 to the present day. The author also wrote "Desert Warfare", "A History of Blitzkreig", "Knights of the Black Cross - Hitler's Panzerwaffe and its Leaders", Soviet Armour since 1945", "Tank Tracks to Rangoon", "The Czar's British Squadron" and "Weapons of the Falklands Conflict".

Approximately one-fifth of the earth's surface consists of desert, and throughout history these arid regions have witnessed some of the world's most decisive battles. Here, Bryan Perrett gives an absorbing account of desert conflicts from the first century BC to more contemporary conflicts such as those in Iran and Iraq. As he demonstrates, acclimatization and familiarization with the day-to-day problems of desert life are vital not only to teach troops how to protect themselves and their equipment, but also to bring them to terms with the harsh environment. The desert does not compromise, and battles fought there result in total victory or total defeat, often at horrific cost. Initially released in 1988 by Patrick Stephens Limited, this re-issue marks a determination on the author's and the publisher's part to keep an esteemed publication in print.

Pozor, tanky! Výkřik, při kterém se pěšák většinou skrčil v koutku svého okopu a modlil se, aby ho ocelové monstrum neobjevilo a nezlikvidovalo. Ocelové krabice nasazené poprvé v I. světové válce jako průlomová zbraň na podporu pěchoty se vyvinuly v samostatný bojový prostředek, ve valné míře rozhodující při svém nasazení na bojišti. Byla to opravdu ocelová pěst každé armády. Autor popisuje nejen vývoj zbraně, která se po skončení studené války zdála být na chvíli zastaralou a nepotřebnou, ale také různé způsoby jejího nasazení, od jednotlivých malých oddílů až po mohutné tankové svazy, jako tomu bylo například v bitvě u Kurska, židovsko-arabské válce, v Normandii i v Itálii, v Zálivu. Samozřejmě se zabývá taktikou bleskové války, neopomíná ani nasazení tanků na tichomořském a asijském válčišti. Zmíněny jsou i obrněné automobily, které také rozhodly nejeden válečný konflikt, a v neposlední řadě se věnuje jednotlivým tankistům, kteří byli považováni za esa u svých zbraní.
