Perhaps the British did not produce the most successful tanks of
the Second World War, but they certainly designed an extraordinary
range of light, medium and heavy tanks along with many that were
adapted for special purposes. This fascinating variety of military
machinery is recorded in Pat Ware's photographic history. Using a
selection of wartime photographs - supported by some modern
photographs of preserved vehicles - he describes the origins of the
tank in Britain during the First World War, looks at British tank
development during the inter-war period and contrasts this with
advances made elsewhere. All of the British tanks that saw service
during the Second World War are described, among them the cruisers
(Crusader, Cromwell, Comet), the infantry tanks (Matilda,
Valentine, Churchill) and the US imports (Stuart, Lee/Grant,
Sherman).Pat Ware is a leading expert on the history of military
vehicles and a prolific writer of books and articles on every
aspect of the subject. His most recent publications include a study
of the military Jeep and encyclopaedias of military vehicles and
motorcycles. He was the founding editor of Classic Military Vehicle
magazine.
