Explore the one hundred year evolution of the tank and its role on the battlefield, from World War One to today's armoured fighting vehicles.

From the Greeks to the Romans, Leonardo da Vinci to H. G. Wells, the idea of an armoured fighting vehicle has crossed centuries and given rise to the technologically advanced land warfare systems that populate the armies of countries all over the world.

Michael Haskew is a noted military historian, and in this book he guides you through the evolution of these military vehicles. Starting with the early development of tanks right through to their uses in the modern day; a well thought out layout presents the images and illustrations pride of place.
