Hmm, I had never heard of this book before.  It's too pricey for me to buy, but it would be interesting to see a copy.

People interested in the role that a captured Israeli Magach-4 played in the development of the T-72M1 may find this article by Jim Warford from a 2006 issue of ARMOR worth checking out.  Jim was kind enough to provide some additional info and images to accompany the piece.

I'm not sure what it is, exactly, but something about the BTR-80A makes me feel it's a bit better thought out than its Western equivalents.
