## Description

Perhaps the British did not produce the most successful tanks of the Second World War, but they certainly designed an extraordinary range of light, medium and heavy tanks along with many that were adapted for special purposes. This fascinating variety of military machinery is recorded in Pat Ware’s photographic history. Using a selection of wartime photographs - supported by some modern photographs of preserved vehicles – the book describes the origins of the tank in Britain during the First World War, looks at British tank development during the inter-war period and contrasts this with advances made elsewhere - in Germany, France, the USA and the Soviet Union. All of the British tanks that saw service during the Second World War are described, among them the cruisers (Crusader, Cromwell, Comet), the infantry tanks (Matilda, Valentine, Churchill) and the US imports (Stuart, Lee/Grant, Sherman). Finally, an extensive section is devoted to the so-called ‘funnies' - the tanks developed for crucial tasks like bridge-laying, mine-clearing, flame-throwing and amphibious operation. Pat Ware’s photographic survey of these tanks at war is an expert introduction to a key period in the history of British fighting vehicles.

Review: great book on British armor - excellent book, easy reading, excellent pictures and information, Mr. Ware has another awesome book. Some photos may or may have been seen before
Review: Amazing effort for country that loved ships and planes. - British was stuck with a strange series of choices in WWII. They rose to the occasion throughout, but so many things were thrust upon them, and choices had to be made. I admire how the book follows things in a sensible fashion, the photos are fine. It doesn't miss much, but I wish they might provide some info on British armored units. Fine otherwise.
