The Staghound was a unique World War II armored vehicle designed and manufactured in the US, but intended solely for the British army. Since its combat debut in Italy in 1943 until the end of the war it had performed particularly valuable service in a reconnaissance role where its speed and armor ensured that it was able to extricate itself from trouble as required without additional support. This book examines the development of this category of armored cars and offers a detailed analysis of the extensive combat use of the Staghound in British service as well as in the service of other Allied countries including Canada, New Zealand and Poland.

Steven Zaloga knows what details that modeler's will find helpful and the photographs and text concerning the variants and combat are interesting...Overall a worthwhile volume and a good resource for those with a few Staghounds in the closet, I recommend it!

Author Steven J. Zaloga is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost authorities on armor and has put his expertise to use in this book. Each type of vehicle as well as its development history is well covered and his writing style makes for interesting reading. When you add to it the quality period photographs and the superb artwork of illustrator Peter Bull, you have an excellent quick reference on a most intriguing subject. It is a book that I can most highly recommend to the enthusiast and modeler alike.
