Tanks by Robin Cross

Tanks by Robin Cross

A century of the weapon that changed modern warfare.

In 1916, for the very first time, the tank entered the military arsenals at a small engagement on the Somme. And despite its shortcomings, it altered the course of World War I. Tanks>charts the weapon's first century, from its early stumbling attempts to the lethal killing machines of today: the technical developments, the various types and models, the tacticians who used them best, and the famous battles where they played a role--from Flers-Courcellette in 1916 and Kursk in 1943 to the First Gulf War and the Russo-Georgian War of 2008. The book contains images of memorabilia from the archives of The Tank Museum, including blueprints and instruction manuals.
