About the book >.>.> How did the most industrialized, wealthy, democratic countries lose their lead in tanks? This volume is the first to combine the methods of history and science to resolve a controversy that has endured for a century. In both world wars, Western European, North American, and Australasian states were democratic, industrialized, and rich. They shared a dominant Western culture. They tended to ally with each other. Materially, their alliances overawed their enemies. Britain, France, and the United States (US) acquired the first, largest, and best tank forces of the First World War. They ended victorious. They remained dominant, despite peacetime turmoil. In tanks, the Western great powers remained innovative in the 1920s, but were misguided by the 1930s. Worse, they were overtaken by the very states they tried to contain. The Western great powers were practically the sole architects of peacetime international institutions, laws, norms, and rules. Their international regime was meant to contain the losers of the First World War: Germany, Austria, Hungar.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is an uncensored facsimile of the official wartime edition of a diary, kept from November 16th to December 31st, 1941, by a Public Relations Officer, whose job was to conduct a party of newspaper correspondents into battle. One of his party writes:' 'I saw' are fine words for the newspaper man.This time we certainly saw.saw Rommel's tank force charging our positions at Sidi Omar and destroyed by a handful of British gunners; saw thousands of vehicles charging into Libya like destroyers in smoke-screens; saw the Poles beginning to redress their wrongs, saw the Indian Brigadechase the enemy fifty miles in one day, saw the shambles on Derna aerodrome, saw the entry into Benghazi. And that our little party of war correspondents was able to see what watching civilisation so hungrily desired to read was largely due to zeal, foresight, courage and energy of our conducting officer, Captain Sean Fielding of the Green Howards, the writer of this diary' '.…

Softcover. Condizione: New. MILITARY GENERALThe story of how the wealthiest, most industrialized, and most democratic states led the world in tanks from the Great War through the 1920s, but lost their lead in the 1930s. The Soviet Union and Germany (incorporating Czechoslovakia) built the largest tank forces, reverse-engineered Western tanks, and innovated for themselves. Western soldiers and officials complained at the time, while propagandists pretended otherwise. Western governments deferred official inquiry until peacetime, then they forgot their promises. Politicians spun the story to avoid blame or monopolise credit. Official historians ignored the record. Private historians nationalistically and lazily followed suit. Read what the developers and users said at the time, illustrated with more than 200 photographs and 14 graphs and tables, based on a dataset with more than 500 tank types, across 9 countries - from gun size to cost, from Canada to Japan, from the First World War to the Second.THE RISE AND FALL OF WESTERN TANKS combines history and science to resolve a controversy that has endured for almost a century.pp. 136 illusts. First Edition #271224ANZ Review:Â"excellent.much more of a joined up tale than I have been used to.your approach is a lot cleverer in that respect." - David Fletcher, Historian, The Tank Museum"This fascinating and authoritative book is required reading for anyone interested in the historical development of the tank. Bruce Newsome's forensic analysis shows how the victors of the First World War (Britain, France and the USA) achieved a significant technical lead in tank design by 1920, only to lose it to Germany and Russia in the 1930s. His narrative, which is a study of innovation, draws an inevitable conclusion, that the failure to maintain a competitive edge placed the allied powers at a significant disadvantage at the beginning of the Second World War. This was something that was only properly rectified after victory had been won. While this book has an immense historical value, it is also a timely reminder that, today, Western tank designs are again falling behind those of potential adversaries, as Russia and China ramp-up their military spending. The author writes with uncommon clarity and purpose. This makes his insights accessible as well as readily understandable. Ultimately, this is a book that will appeal to both the professional and the enthusiast." - Nicholas Drummond, UK Land Power"very detailed research.The book underscored how easily a technological edge can be lost due to a myriad of reasons, but when combined, and when there is a crisis, can prove very costly in terms of lives lost within the battlespace to overcome." - Sean Rooney, United States Marine Corps University"This is a book aimed at serious students of armoured warfare.well supported with illustrations." - The Army Rumour Service (ARRSE) Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
