Comments From Other Readers "This book is an invaluable resource to the historian and mildly interested alike. Everyone can agree that tanks are an integral part of military might, and this fascinating look into the rise of these machines is important in tracing their historical roots." - Gerald D. (Salt Lake City, USA) "I like a historical book that goes into great detail without being dry or cumbersome. If I wanted a textbook, I would buy one. However, the author takes great care to be as informative as possible while still being concise and readable. I especially enjoyed the rundown of each type of tank, as well as each of their strengths and weaknesses and how they affected the outcome of the various battles." - Nelson M. (Manchester, UK) "Warfare would be a lot different today if it weren't for tanks, and this book does a great job of covering their development from the beginning. The battle descriptions were of particular interest to me, as those were the important components of WWII. To find out that they were fought largely by tank forces was intriguing." - Robert P. (Springfield, USA)
