Heavy Cavalry for the 20th Century

This is as good a book about tanks as one would wish to have. Perrett does what so many military historians neglect to do: he explains what a weapon is for, what a weapon does and why it is needed. He is both comfortable with the subject-matter and capable of stringing a sentence together - again, a rare combination among military historians. And in a series of self-contained chapters, he takes us from the fields of Cambrai in 1917 to the armored flanking movements of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Particularly impressive are his stories of the World War One armored car units, as well as his account of the British yeomanry during the Battle of Alamein 1942. His judicious use of first hand information gives you a firm impression of what it is to live, and die, inside these machines.
