In this fascinating account of the battle tanks that saw combat
in the European Theater of World War II, Mary R. Habeck traces the
strategies developed between the wars for the use of armored
vehicles in battle. Only in Germany and the Soviet Union were truly
original armor doctrines (generally known as "blitzkreig" and "deep
battle") fully implemented. Storm of Steel relates how the German
and Soviet armies formulated and chose to put into practice
doctrines that were innovative for the time, yet in many respects
identical to one another.
As part of her extensive archival research in Russia, Germany,
and Britain, Habeck had access to a large number of formerly secret
and top-secret documents from several post-Soviet archives. This
research informs her comparative approach as she looks at the roles
of technology, shared influences, and assumptions about war in the
formation of doctrine. She also explores relations between the
Germans and the Soviets to determine whether collaboration
influenced the convergence of their armor doctrines.
