Description
Men, Ideas and Tanks: British Military Thought and Armoured Forces, 1903-1939
This study examines the development of British military ideas on armoured forces from 1903 to 1939. The nation that first developed the tank, first used it in action, and achieved dramatic results with its employment is revealed.
With a focus on the history of mechanised warfare and military thought, J.P. Harris offers new interpretations of the early history of British armoured forces. Understanding why Britain lost its lead in this field by the outbreak of World War II is also explored.
