The second volume in Dick Taylor's three-volume illustrated history
of the evolution of armoured manoeuvre warfare in the British army
covers the period of the Second World War, in which the tank came
of age and developed into the principal land weapon of decision. He
describes how, during the first half of the war, the British army
came close to disaster from the armoured warfare perspective and
how the bitter lessons of failure were learned in time to deliver
success in 1944 and 1945. As well as providing a fascinating
overview of the tactical use of armour during the main campaigns,
he considers such much-neglected aspects as the role of training
and organization, officer selection and recruitment, and the
mechanization of other arms. His wide-ranging book also features
extensive, well-laid-out tables giving key information about
British armour during this period. This expert account quotes
heavily from the vivid recollections of soldiers who served in
armour, and is not afraid to criticize as well as praise.
