A highly illustrated and accessible account of tank warfare through
history and around the world.
Explore the development of tank warfare, from its first significant use
at Cambrai during World War I to major tank battles of World War II, the
Indo-Pakistan War, the Arab-Israeli Wars, the Iran-Iraq War, and the
Allied invasions of Iraq. Each of the specially commissioned maps
highlights a particular aspect of combat, so they vary in shape and
size--from isometric to semi-circular and full-page to
double-spread--and in outlook, with some maps giving a global
perspective while others take a narrow focus. Major battles such as
Villers-Bretonneux, Amiens, Kursk, and the Golan Heights are shown in
great detail, and all the maps include a key to help readers to
understand the events. With extensively researched text telling the
stories behind these conflicts concisely and clearly, the History of
Tank Warfare is an invaluable reference.
