Tank Warfare: Strategy and Tactics

Through this examination of significant tank battles and campaigns, Tank Warfare: Strategy & Tactics in the Twentieth Century demonstrates how the tank remained a key part of any commander’s offensive (and defensive) plans. The book discusses the importance of particular military commanders, such as Guderian and Fuller, and includes in-depth accounts of great tank battles from Cambrai to Kursk, and from Chinese Farm to Desert Storm. The authors also examine the evolution of tank design from the British Males and Females of World War I to the Soviet T-34 and German Panther of World War II, and on to the American M1 Abrams, British Challenger and French Leclerc designs. With photographs, maps and diagrams, Tank Warfare shows how tanks have fought on the battlefields of Europe, Africa and Asia and analyses the tactics used in armoured battles up to the First Gulf War. Tank Warfare is a definitive guide to the art of armoured combat in the twentieth century.
