The story of the first great tank battle, and the genesis of one of
the most formidable weapons of the twentieth century. Cambrai was
the last - and most influential - battle fought by the British on
the Western Front in 1917. With many of the Allies on the brink of
collapse, only Britain was still capable of holding the Germans at
bay. Over time, many myths have grown up around what happened at
Cambrai. The events of this iconic attack are now buried beneath
accumulated legends and misrepresentations built up over almost a
century. It is remembered as the world's first great tank battle,
but it was the brilliant British innovations in artillery
techniques that most shocked the enemy. Equally important were the
new 'stormtroop' tactics the Germans pioneered. Drawing on
previously unpublished letters, diaries, first-hand accounts and
official reports, Bryn Hammond's definitive account examines this
military milestone, how the myths were created, and how they
changed the face of warfare for ever.
