Rolling Thunder - Philip Kaplan

The Tank Is Such A Characteristic Feature Of Modern Warfare That Its Difficult To Imagine A Time When Its Presence Wasnt Felt On The Battlefield In Some Form Or Another. This Volume, From Eminent Historian And Author Philip Kaplan, Traces The History Of The Vehicle From Its Developmental Early Days On The Battlefields Of The Great War, To Modern-day Uses And Innovations In Response To The Growing Demands Of Twenty-first Century Warfare. During And After The First World War, In The Wake Of Such Momentous Loss Of Life On The Battlefields, The Need To Move Away From Large Army Deployment And Maneuvers Was Considered To Be Particularly Pressing.
