The publication is opened with the second part of a chapter describing Half-Track weapon carrier version. There are all its versions and variants presented on 75 pages of drawings, along with a wide collection of photographs. The next chapter characterizes further development of those vehicle versions, which didn't go into mass production, all illustrated with photographs and fabric sketches. The following one describes war service of Half-Track.

It would be impossible to describe in detail the part it took in II World War and later armed conflicts, due to the common use of the vehicle. Therefore, the Author concentrate on the most important issues, illustrating it with lots of photographs, often unpublished before. Half-Track was used by US Army, USMC, as well as others (mainly thanks to lend-lease supplies). Polish Armed Forces used these both in the West and in the East (in this very region - also after the war). Half-Track service in wars and conflicts in the Middle East and Korea is also included.

The monograph contains a chapter about camouflage and markings of different Half-Track versions, which refers to 12 colour plates. Modeling part contains the list of models and accessories (for their valorization). Publication is supplemented by 34 pages of 3D colour graphics and colour photographs of museum exhibits and currently operational, restored vehicles.
