Description

Tank is a definitive history of one of the most influential machines in modern warfare--and the remarkable people who designed them, fought in them, and tried to predict their future.

Tanks have long embodied the power and brutality of industrial-age conflict. To some, they are terrifying engines of destruction; to others, symbols of liberation rolling across occupied soil. Even as new technologies--drones, precision missiles, artificial intelligence--promise to make armored vehicles obsolete, tanks continue to define, and be defined by, the battlefields on which they serve. From their debut in 1916 to World War II, the tank clashes of 1990s Iraq, and today's war in Ukraine, their impact remains undeniable.

In Tank, bestselling historian and former Royal Tank Regiment officerMark Urban tells the story of the tank through ten of the most important vehicles ever built. Beginning with the British Mark IV of World War I and moving through icons such as the T-34, the Tiger, and the M1 Abrams, Urban traces the evolution of tank warfare and the strategic, political, and technological forces that shaped it. Drawing on newly released archival materials, interviews, declassified documents, and insights from figures ranging from Winston Churchill to Volodymyr Zelensky, he reveals how tanks transformed warfare--and how warfare transformed tanks.

Officially supported by The Tank Museum, this is an enthralling, authoritative account of the armored vehicle that changed combat forever.

Praise for Tank:

"An illuminating and exciting drive through the mud and blood of twentieth-century warfare." --Dr. Robert Lyman, Operation Suicide
