The Land Ironclads

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century warfare, the narrative introduces innovative "land ironclads," massive war machines designed for combat. These 100-foot-long vehicles, featuring remotely controlled weaponry and accommodations for soldiers, foreshadowed the advent of tanks in World War I. H. G. Wells' work showcases his prophetic vision and solidifies his status as a key figure in science fiction. This edition also includes a new biography, highlighting Wells' diverse contributions to literature and his political views.
