The book is dedicated to the greatest tank armada in history - the armored forces of the USSR. In all countries of the world taken together, there were fewer tanks than in the Soviet Army. These hordes of steel monsters, destined for a victorious breakthrough to the English Channel, died along with the country that created them. For the first time in domestic and foreign literature, the real, and not the ceremonial, history of the development and decline of Soviet tank forces of the post-war era is presented.

The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
