## Overview

The Tank Book is a comprehensive visual guide featuring over 400 tanks and armored vehicles, detailing their design, weaponry, and historical significance from WWI through the Cold War.

## Description

Get up close to more than 400 of the most important tanks and armoured vehicles ever built. In 1916, the British built a machine that was impervious to enemy fire, and could dominate the battlefield, crushing obstacles and barbed wire in its path. The first tank, or "Mother" as it was known, had arrived. In The Tank Book you can view it in detail, along with other iconic models, including the German Panzer, the legendary Tiger, the Vickers Medium Mark II, the Centurion, and the Hellcat - the fastest armoured fighting vehicle ever. This comprehensive volume takes you through the most exciting story in recent military history with the development of heavy artillery, anti-tank weaponry, and the men - such as Sir William Tritton and Mikail Koshkin - who designed these awe-inspiring beasts. It shows each key model in stunning detail, highlighting elements such as their armour and weaponry, and much more besides. Produced in association with The Tank Museum, The Tank Book traces the tank's development in response to two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, and many other conflicts. If you are interested in modern warfare, The Tank Book is truly unmissable reading.

Review: The ins and outs of tanks - I recently saw the movie Fury (directed by David Ayer and starring Brad Pitt) about a Sherman M4 tank and its crew during the Second World War. What intrigued me was how the crew worked in such a confined space so I bought the book. A big photo of the Sherman is shown on pages eighty-six and seven but turn over the page and I found twenty-six interior photos (all captioned). I think showing interior photos of several tanks (out of four hundred featured) is one of the strengths of the book. Dorling-Kindersley has done their excellent presentation with this title (and it puts to shame most other publishers of image-driven books) and it's worth noting the title: a visual history. The contents are not descriptions of great tank battles or personal reminiscences of tank crews but page after page of photos (nicely as cutouts) revealing tanks through past decades. Each has some brief technical details and a few words of background about the vehicle. Missing, I found, were any measurements and some tanks are impressively huge. I liked the fourteen pages at the back of the book, looking at the tanks' evolution, engines, tracks and suspension, firepower, protection, anti-tank weapons and uniforms. These pages are followed by a glossary and index. DK's tank book is a fascinating look at a unique bit of military kit.

Review: Great reference book - We went to the Bovington tank museum and had a guided tour of the section that contained the tank that a relative drove during WW2. We were so interested that we forgot to take any photos of that section. Because this book has participation from the tank museum, we got this book. The book is suitable for ages 10yrs and up. It is clear, well presented and the many photographs make it an accessible book and we found it supported the tank museum's exhibits very well. This book covers many tanks, so is not going to be a book of great detail on any particular exhibit, but amounts to a good photo guide, with enough detail for most people. This book is by DK, which is a guarantee of great presentation. We got the kindle edition, so that when we return to the museum, we have a detailed guide with us.
