M48 Patton vs Centurion : Indo-Pakistani War 1965
David R. Higgins (Author)
"The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 witnessed the largest tank battles seen since World war II, notably between India's British-made Centurion Mk7s and the American-made M48 Pattons fielded by Pakistan. The two countries' tank regiments, many of which shared a proud heritage in the British Indian Army, fought one another in the difficult terrain of Jammu and Kashmir, the focus of a long-running dispute between [them]. The armoured clashes at Asal Uttar, Chawinda and Phillora would demonstrate that the Centurion, with its powerful gun and lower profile, generally proved superior to the faster, lighter but overly complex Patton."--Back cover
