Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and personal perspective on the birth and development of the Tank Corps during World War I. It's not a dry, impersonal history, but rather a captivating narrative infused with the author's firsthand experiences as a subaltern in the corps. The author delves into the early days of the tank, detailing the challenges and triumphs of this revolutionary weapon. He describes the evolution of tank design, from the crude but groundbreaking Mark I to the more refined Mark IV. The book also explores the crucial role of the Tank Corps in the Somme battles and its later, decisive contributions on the Western Front. Through vivid accounts of training, battle, and the camaraderie of the men, the author paints a picture of a new arm of the service struggling to find its footing while facing skepticism and resistance from established military forces. The book offers a compelling testament to the transformative power of the tank and its impact on the course of the war.
