On 15 September 1916 during the Battle of the Somme, tanks - one of
the decisive weapons of twentieth-century warfare - were sent into
action for the first time. In his previous books Trevor Pidgeon,
one of the leading authorities on the early tanks, has told the
story of that memorable day, but only now has his account of later
tank operations during the Somme battle become available. In this,
his last work which was completed shortly before he died, he
reconstructs the tank actions that took place between late
September and November when the Somme offensive was closed down.
His account gives a vivid insight into the actions and experiences
of the tank crews, and it shows the appalling dangers they faced as
they manoeuvred their crude, vulnerable and unreliable machines
towards the enemy. His book will be essential reading for anyone
who is familiar with his previous studies of the subject and for
anyone who wants to follow in the tracks of the tanks as they
lumbered across the battlefield nearly 100 years ago.
