Introduced in 1981 and up till today still the only mass-produced wheeled self-propelled howitzer, the DANA is a class of its own. No one who ever took a close look at the DANA's unique design features can stop admiring the expertise and vision the Czechoslovakian designers of the 1970s put into this extraordinary vehicle. This is the first-ever comprehensive documentation on this vehicle and unlike only a pure walk-around this title offers:

• comprehensive development and technical background
• comparison with all modern international wheeled self-propelled gun systems
• visual documentation of all main technical components
• development and types of camouflage and markings
• detailed external walk-around on in-service vehicles
• coverage of interior details
• photos from exercises and live firing missions
• planned modernisation efforts
• a comparative look on DANA's sister, the Zuzana vz. 2000
