Failure to exploit the potential of an original idea is a recurring
phenomenon in our national history. Few failures, however, can have
been so costly in human life as that of our military commanders
early in 1916 to appreciate that the tank was a war winning weapon.
The slaughter of the Somme, Passchendaele and Ypres salient had to
be endured before accepted conventional methods were abandoned and
the tank given a chance. Bryan Cooper describes the early tank
actions in vivid detail, with many eye-witness accounts. He tells
of the courage and endurance of the crews not just in battle but in
the appalling conditions in which they had to drive and fight their
primitive vehicles. Scalded, scorched and poisoned with exhaust
fumes, constantly threatened with being burned to death, these
crews eventually laid the foundation for the Allied Victory in
World War I. The book is well illustrated with many original
photographs which give the present day reader a glimpse of the
infancy of a dominant weapon of modern war.
