The Rise and Fall of Western Tanks, 1855-1939

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the evolution of tank warfare, the narrative explores how the most affluent and democratic nations initially dominated tank development from the Great War into the 1920s. However, by the 1930s, this leadership shifted to the Soviet Union and Germany, which not only built substantial tank forces but also reverse-engineered Western designs and introduced their own innovations. The book delves into the factors contributing to this dramatic shift in military technology and strategy.
