1st Ed., xxiv+331pp., 8 plates, 16 diagrams, 10 maps (one fldg.). Murray. From 1916-1918 Fuller was Chief General Staff Officer of the Tank Corps & a leading planner of the Battle of Cambrai. As one of Britain's foremost military thinkers & authors he was a constant & vocal advocate of the mechanised arm. "Colonel Fuller's book on tanks in the War differs from the others on this subject. Like them it gives a short history of the early struggles, developments, & set-backs; but the author, a well-known writer on strategy & tactics, is always more concerned with the future of armoured & catterpillar-propelled vehicles in warfare - whether for offence or transport - than in their actual achievements between 1914 & 1918. The work was written before the 'mechanization' of the Army had advanced very far, but it does not suffer from this fact, so long as that is borne in mind. It is, indeed, ahead of its time." - Falls (awarding a coveted star). Important & scarce work, orig. red cloth, gilt, sp. sunned & a little chipped, overall wear but generally sound & inexpensive copy. See illustrations on our website.
