Synopsis

During the period 1914 - 1945 the British armoured fighting vehicle, in both tracked and wheeled form, was born and in that time the machines were to prove themselves in two World Wars. This book is in four parts, two of which, tanks and armoured cars, have been published separately and now included in expanded and revised form. The tank itself is to be seen in many forms - as flamethrower, salvage unit and mine-clearer to name only three. Sections detailing Specialised Armour and Self-propelled Guns and Carriers complete the book. All the major types are described in detail; in addition some non-armoured vehicles are included, and various tracked non-armoured towing vehicles and amphibians. Copious illustration includes striking photographs of the machines in action. A compact chronology, believed to be the first of the British tank and armoured vehicle covering the period until 1945, completes a publication of immense value to any military historian and of absorbing interest to the amateur.
