About this product
Product Information
There has been nothing published outside of Russia concerning the activities of its motor industry, by 1937 the Soviets had become the largest producers of motor vehicles in Europe, albeit with the help of Henry Ford The author decided to concentrate on the work of the pioneers in Czarist Russia, for their efforts were more diverse than those of their counterparts in the Soviet era. However, one Soviet motor car which was an indigenous product has been included to illustrate how the industry might have evolved if Henry Ford had not been approached. This is a comprehensive overview of all facets of vehicle production from the early days to the final demise of the Soviet Union. All the manufacturers of motor vehicles, certain accessories, military machines, and even aero engines are recorded in this unique book.

Reviews
"This book covers largely untrodden ground ... The book will open eyes as to the talent and ingenuity of Russian engineers and craftsmen and their contributions to the international stage." The Flying Lady, "Former military engineer Kelly has done an expert job, as his impressive bibliography of Russian books confirms. Alexandr Zakarov's colorful artwork draws you into marque histories, such as Russo-Baltic racer, Dux vee-twin cyclecars and Mercedes-inspired Lessner Edwardian tourers." Classic & Sports Car "Has to rank as the most comprehensive account of the subject yet attempted. A lovely book on a little-known subject." Old Glory, "This book covers largely untrodden ground ... The book will open eyes as to the talent and ingenuity of Russian engineers and craftsmen and their contributions to the international stage." - The Flying Lady "The wide variety of contraptions is genuinely interesting; you get military stuff, trucks and buses, cars, and even weird, ultra-luxurious king-carriages on skis and tracks! The writer actually spent plenty of time in Russia researching this tome, which means it's unrivalled in details, and extends even to aero engines." - Wheels, United Arab Emirates, "Former military engineer Kelly has done an expert job, as his impressive bibliography of Russian books confirms. Alexandr Zakarov's colorful artwork draws you into marque histories, such as Russo-Baltic racer, Dux vee-twin cyclecars and Mercedes-inspired Lessner Edwardian tourers." - Classic & Sports Car "Has to rank as the most comprehensive account of the subject yet attempted. A lovely book on a little-known subject." - Old Glory "At first this seems like a very niche work as Kelly catalogues the motor works of the former USSR, as well as Chinese limos made with Russian Aid. But you're soon drawn in by his chronicle of an industry working in a single-minded manner, often ironically influenced by the USA. Some strange things happened in the Soviet Union during that period and most of them can be found here." - Classic Cars It's a great read, not least because Kelly puts them in a political and social context rather than producing a list of facts with a few adjectival phrases thrown in. There are many wondrous machines here. Top marks for the words." - Octane, "Former military engineer Kelly has done an expert job, as his impressive bibliography of Russian books confirms.
