Synopsis

Bringing together more than 400 of the most significant tanks and armoured vehicles ever built, this volume offers a close look at landmark designs from the earliest machines to later icons. It includes detailed coverage of models such as the first tank, known as “Mother”, alongside the German Panzer, the Tiger, the Vickers Medium Mark II, the Centurion, and the Hellcat.

Alongside the vehicles themselves, the book follows the development of armoured warfare and the technologies that shaped it, including heavy artillery and anti-tank weaponry, as well as the designers behind key breakthroughs, such as Sir William Tritton and Mikail Koshkin. Produced in association with The Tank Museum, it traces the tank’s evolution through two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, and other conflicts, making it suited to readers with an interest in modern warfare.
