Since 1955, following its introduction to the Middle East, it became Egypt’s main battle tank and was also adopted by Syria. The most fascinating period of its use encompasses the postwar era, the 1956 Sinai Campaign, and the lead-up to the Six-Day War in 1967—key conflicts that defined the Cold War era in the Middle East.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The book meticulously documents the capture and acquisition of the first T-34s by Israel during the Sinai Campaign, when Sherman and AMX-13 tanks clashed for the first time on the battlefield with Soviet-made machines. After the fighting ended, the Israeli army incorporated these captured T-34s into their own training and testing programs, and their parade through the streets of Tel Aviv became a symbol of the young nation’s spectacular victory.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCategory: modeling book \/ historical literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eNumber of pages: 88\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eBinding: softcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003ePublisher: Abteilung 502\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eHistorical coverage: 1955-1967, the Cold War era in the Middle East\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eAn ideal resource for modelers building T-34 models in 1\/35, 1\/16, 1\/72 scales, as well as for enthusiasts of Israeli military history\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eWe highly recommend this title\u003c\/strong\u003e to both beginner and advanced modelers and military history enthusiasts.
