THE AUTHORITATIVE AND ORIGINAL ACCOUNT OF TANK WARFARE, TOLD BY THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED THROUGH IT.

Perfect for fans of John Nichol, Peter Caddick-Adams and Max Hastings

'Tank Men is a triumph . . . it is a really fine piece of work' - Richard Holmes

-------

The First World War saw the birth of an extraordinary fighting machine that has fascinated three generations: the tank.

In Tank Men, ex-soldier and military historian Robert Kershaw brings to life the grime, the grease and the fury of a tank battle through the voices of ordinary men and women who lived and fought in those fearsome machines.

Drawing on vivid, newly researched personal testimony from the crucial battles of the First and Second World Wars, this is military history at its very best.
