Tank Commanders: Knights of the Modern Age

By George Forty

The arrival of the tank on the Western Front in 1916 changed the face of modern warfare. This major study traces the development of this important new breed of soldiers. The important thinkers, inventors and builders are included alongside the great battlefield leaders, and the development of the all arms team. Reveals just what makes the tank leader so different from many commanders in military history. Covers conflicts in Asia -- Korea, Vietnam, India and Pakistan; the Middle East conflicts between Israel and her Arab neighbors; and the action of ?Desert Storm' in the Gulf War. Includes a wealth of archive photos and specially created maps and diagrams.
