TANKS (500 SERIES) - Softcover

The armoured tank changed the face of war at the turn of the 20th century, as battles began to rely on machinery and not just men. This book looks at the development of this armoured vehicle from the early days of the First World War to its place on the battlefield in the 21st century, as well as showing detailed illustrations of the design and construction of these armoured beasts and the weaponry that is used in today's conflicts.
