If the view of the military had prevailed in 1915, no tanks would have rolled out of British factories in World War One to become the first to enter battle. Controversy surrounded the new weapon from its inception until the Armistice and beyond. This book provides information on the events and personalities surrounding tank production.
John Glanfield has contributed articles on tank history to publications in Britain and the USA, and edited Not for Themselves Alone, the story of the Royal Air Force. A retired director of London's Earls Court and Olympia, he lives near Guildford.
