TANKOGRAD 5029 RAKETENARTILLERIE MODERN GERMAN ARMY ROCKET ARTILLERY
By Peter Blume, oversize paperback, new copy.

In the weapons arsenal of the Bundeswehr of the Cold War tactical ground-to-ground rocket systems played a key role to fulfil the demanded tasks within NATO both in conventional and nuclear battle scenarios. In the early years of the Bundeswehr the military rockets were exclusively of American origin, with the systems Honest John, Sergeant and Lance being actively deployed. Back then the US Army did not possess any multiple-launch rocket systems, and it was more focused on the development of heavy rocket artillery weapon systems that could launch one rocket and that were mainly earmarked for use with nuclear warheads. This explains why the German Bundeswehr did not field a multiple launch rocket system in its early years. Only when it began to develop modern domestic weapon systems which included a requirement for a powerful artillery system to engage area targets the LARS 1 could finally be introduced.

Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away.  Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse!
