This excellent book starts with a two page history of the development of the Shilka with the rest of the book consisting of well captioned pictures.
The pictures - the majority of which are B&W - start off with a few pages of pictures of the Shilka's predecessors (ZSU-57 etc) an then move on to pictures of the Shilka itself.
Photos of all major variants of the Shilka are included as well as excellent close-up pictures which cover most, if not all, of the details on the exterior and interior. There are also technical drawings of the turret and line drawings comparing the different variants. As an added bonus there are some very good photos of the 2S6 Tunguska - the Shilka's successor.
