Cruiser Tank Warfare is a term used to describe the British concept
of armoured warfare based on fast, thinly armoured tanks. The book
traces the history of this concept from the publication of
'Mechanised and Armoured Formations' in 1929 up to the end of the
war. It does this by following the British understanding of the
subject in manuals, 'Modern Formations' being extensively quoted,
by considering the development of Cruiser tank design, and by
looking at the major actions that Cruisers were involved in. The
conclusion drawn is that the Cruiser Tank Warfare concept was
fundamentally flawed. It is important to note that the book
restricts itself to a detailed investigation of the British
experience of tank warfare, only occasionally referring to foreign
armies and then purely for comparison. It is confidently planned to
publish a companion volume titled 'Infantry Tank Warfare'.
