The Human Story of Tank Warfare
The tank was one of the most extraordinary fighting machines to emerge from the First World War. In Tank Men, former soldier and military historian Robert Kershaw looks beyond the machines themselves to tell the story of the men and women who operated, supported and experienced tank warfare.
Drawing on personal testimony from important battles of both the First and Second World Wars, Kershaw brings the realities of tank warfare to life. The focus is on the people inside and around these fearsome machines, offering an account of warfare that goes beyond equipment and battlefield statistics.
