Fighting Tanks & Narrative History of "G" and 7th Tank Battalion Accounts of tanks, armoured cars and the experiences of the men who fought in them For any student or enthusiast of the history of the services of British tanks and armoured cars during the First World War, this two part Leonaur edition will be essential reading.'Fighting Tanks' provides a compilation of contributions from authoritative commentators who took part in the events described. Although there is much valuable historical material in these pages, the text abounds with first hand accounts provided by those who took part in the sharpest end of armoured combat on the battlefield of mud, wire and trenches. These accounts commence during 1916 in France on the Western Front and continues through every significant engagement of tank warfare to the breaching of the Hindenburg Line and the final months of the war.The closing chapters of this work consider the activities of tanks in the wider theatres of the war, but particularly concentrate on the nimble armoured cars as fast moving pursuit vehicles in Europe and farther afield. Whilst comparatively concise, the supporting narrative in this book is no less engaging. This is the account of one tank battalion-the 7th- and its war on the Western Front and includes many intimate and detailed accounts including photographs contributed by officers the Royal Tank Corps. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
