Description
David Fletcher's British Battle Tanks provides a detailed history of the British use of tanks during World War II. This second volume in Fletcher's multi-volume series explores the development and deployment of various tank designs, including the Matilda, Crusader, Valentine, Churchill, and Cromwell. The book delves into the challenges faced by the British military as they struggled to overcome unreliable vehicles and poorly thought-out doctrine. It also examines Britain's ambitious super-heavy tank projects, such as the TOG1 and TOG2, and the Tortoise heavy assault tank, which was designed to tackle the toughest battlefield conditions. Through its examination of these tanks and their role in North Africa and beyond, British Battle Tanks sheds light on a pivotal period in British military history.
