In the preface there is a remark saying quite literally, "Scandalously famous Viktor Suvorov declared these tanks 'the best in the world' - some 'miracle weapon' of Stalin, which by the mere fact of their existence proved the aggressiveness of the USSR and its intention to capture all of Europe: 'the Soviet Union was the only country in the world which produced amphibious tanks on a mass scale'." This new book supposedly dispels this "myth"?... but we leave it to the reader to decide.
