World War I and II Tanks by George Forty
The tank was initially developed as a new weapon to break the stalemate on the Western Front after the First Battle of Ypres in 1914. This illustrated book begins with a history of the tank, from the first tank action in World War I to campaigns of World War II such as Blitzkrieg and D-Day. It includes a A-Z guide to tanks from 1916-45.
