“Tanks are like dinner jackets”, an Australian general once commented, “you don’t need them very often, but when you do, nothing else will do.”

An authoritative history of the tank and the remarkable individuals who designed them and fought in them, from a former officer and best-selling historian

Tanks are the ultimate embodiment of industrial age warfare. In the popular imagination, they represent both a terrifying beast of destruction and a potent symbol of liberation.

The technology behind these war machines has evolved relentlessly, and yet the coming of the information age has led many to predict that drones, missiles, and Artificial Intelligence have made the tank obsolete. Time and again, however, tanks have continued to shape – and be shaped by -- battles around the world, from their introduction in 1916, through the Second World War and tank-on-tank fights in 1990s Iraq, to the current conflict in Ukraine.

In TANK, best-selling historian and former officer in the Royal Tank Regiment Mark Urban draws on wide-ranging accounts from soldiers, designers, and politicians, from Winston Churchill to Volodymyr Zelensky, to tell the remarkable story of one of the most important developments in military history. Through the ten most important vehicles ever made, Urban chronicles the incredible advances in tank technology – starting with the Mark IV, the first British tank to be used in large numbers in WW1, and following the story through the T-34 and Tiger to the M1 Abrams, a product of huge American Cold War investment that is still used to this day.

Officially supported by The Tank Museum and using never-before-seen archival sources, interviews and declassified documents, this is a fascinating history of the vehicle that changed conflict forever.

Resumo da Crítica

Punchy. Trenchant. Heavyweight. Mark Urban’s Tank blows the doors off, just as you’d expect from such an accomplished author. Take cover! (Damien Lewis, author of SAS Great Escapes)
Tank takes the reader deep into the heart of armoured shock action on the battlefield with all its horror and drama (Stuart Tootal, co-author of SAS: Sea King Down)
A really accomplished blending of technology, tactics and politics, and it couldn’t be more relevant as we experience new phases of conflict . . . an engaging read (Dr Emily Mayhew, author of The Four Horsemen)
Mark Urban brings his signature flair and vivid storytelling to Tank . . . essential reading for all students of war (Dr Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana)
An illuminating and exciting drive through the mud and blood of twentieth-century warfare . . . With his customary panache, Mark Urban demonstrates convincingly that tanks have been not merely armoured horses, but the key to enabling armies to manoeuvre through contested battle space (Dr Robert Lyman, author of Operation Suicide)
