TANKS IN 100 FACTS: How a Boxy Piece of British Deception Became the Deadliest Machine on Land: 95 (Military Science) - Softcover
Book 81 of 102: Military Science
Synopsis
Tanks in 100 Facts.
From the muddy battlefields of the Somme and the desperate trenches of World War I—where an ingenious British deception disguised the first mechanical titans under the mundane name of water carriers
This book delivers a gripping exploration of the ultimate weapon of land combat: the tank.
Every vehicle that has ever rolled onto a battlefield tells a story of the iron trinity: a perpetual, high-stakes balancing act where maximizing armor protection, gun firepower, or battlefield mobility inevitably requires sacrificing another. Step inside this steel machinery to explore how military engineering adapted through continuous technological leaps and hard-learned combat lessons, from the revolutionary introduction of rotating turrets and sloped armor to the secretive matrices of modern composite armor and active protection systems.
Packed with riveting historical accounts and cutting-edge engineering insights, this book traces armored warfare through the mechanized chaos of twentieth-century world wars, the looming nuclear anxieties of the Cold War, and right up to the modern crucible of drone-saturated battlefields.
Whether you are a dedicated military history enthusiast or a passionate fan of technological innovation, this is the definitive journey into the machines that shaped our world. Grab your copy today and witness the true evolution of military might.
Cornelis van Houte is a military consultant.
