Canfora Design & Publishing has announced the second volume of its series on Soviet and Russian military parades.
From the publisher: Undoubtedly our most ambitious project to date, this second volume in a three volume series describes the tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery and rocket systems paraded by the Soviet Army on Red Square from 1946 until the last Soviet era parade in November 1990. From the massed tank displays of the immediate post-war parades, to the introduction of strategic rocket systems during the “Khrushchev” years, all the weapons displayed on Red Square during the Cold War are described in detail. The background military history of the Soviet Union during the Cold War years and the philosophy involved in the weapon developments is also related, building the overall picture of Soviet parades as a projection of Soviet military might.

The Soviet Army on Parade 1946-1991, 100 Years of Soviet and Russian Military Parades 1917-2017 - Volume 2. The book will be available as a hardbound edition and will contain more than 500 photos spread over 336 pages.

I have the first volume in this series and it is a work of art! High quality paper, incredible photos and a really useful historical narrative about the parade for each year.Volume 2 looks like it will be even better! I preordered this the day it showed on the website and am looking forward to volume 3 later in the year. Thanks to James Kinnear and Tony Canfora for bringing us this series. Aloha!
