Description
THE AUTHORITATIVE AND ORIGINAL ACCOUNT OF TANK WARFARE, TOLD BY THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED THROUGH IT. Perfect for fans of John Nichol, Peter Caddick-Adams and Max Hastings 'A highly original and valuable piece of military history. It ought to transform our idea of the Second World War; it has mine' - Sir John Keegan 'Tank Men is a triumph . . . it is a really fine piece of work' - Richard Holmes ------- The First World War saw the birth of an extraordinary fighting machine that has fascinated three generations: the tank. In Tank Men, ex-soldier and military historian Robert Kershaw brings to life the grime, the grease and the fury of a tank battle through the voices of ordinary men and women who lived and fought in those fearsome machines. Drawing on vivid, newly researched personal testimony from the crucial battles of the First and Second World Wars, this is military history at its very best. ------- Readers' praise for Tank Men: 'The narrative is excellent and allows one to view the work, servicing and horrendous battles from the safety of one's chair.' ¿¿¿¿¿ 'One of those books which I felt genuinely gutted when I realised I was reaching the end. Just brilliant. Very balanced, taking testimony from all sides of a brutal part of any conflict. It combines human stories with technical detail and historical context - no mean feat. ¿¿¿¿¿ 'For anyone who thinks that the tank was a safe haven in war read this book. For all AFV modellers and re-enacters who have never been involved with the real thing, read this book. ¿¿¿¿¿ 'A first-class book that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to gain insight into what fighting inside a tank was like.' ¿¿¿¿¿
