During the first years of the Second World War, Allied forces
endured a series of terrible defeats at the hands of the Germans,
Italians and Japanese. Their tanks were outclassed, their armoured
tactics were flawed. But the advent of new tank designs and
variants, especially those from the United States, turned the
tables. Although German armour was arguably still superior at the
end of the war, the competence of Allied designs and the sheer
scale of their production gave them a decisive advantage on the
armoured battlefield. This is the fascinating story that Anthony
Tucker-Jones tells in this book which is part of a three-volume
history of armoured warfare during the Second World War. Chapters
cover each major phase of the conflict, from the early blitzkrieg
years when Hitler's panzers overran Poland, France and great
swathes of the Soviet Union to the Allied fight back in tank
battles in North Africa, Italy and northern Europe. He also covers
less-well-known aspects of the armoured struggle in sections on
Allied tanks in Burma, India and during the Pacific campaign.
Technical and design developments are a key element in the story,
but so are changes in tactics and the role of the tanks in the
integrated all-arms forces that overwhelmed the Axis.
