This is the first single source of so much varying and pertinent information, as well as many previously unpublished photographs.
The booklet contains a short review of Croatian military iconography during the Croatian War of Independence. ("Croatian Homeland War")
Furthermore, some fascinating sections contain groundwork about the tanks from the Second World War used in former Yugoslavia and in the Croatian War of Independence. They also contain first-rate information and photos about the exotic and authentic Croatian improvised armoured vehicles.
Other central texts describe Croatian military aviation and Croatian Navy during the Croatian War of Independence, and a brief history of scale modeling in Croatia.
