Excellent research on an overlooked era

Not only was this really well researched, referencing many difficult to find sources, but it was also a very enjoyable read. Top marks

A Modern Classic

I bought the original edition when it came out and rated it very highly then as I do all this series from David Fletcher. It is clear they were written by someone with a love and feel for the subjects.
My copy has a prominent place on my bookshelf and is referred to regularly as it is a mine of information on this fascinating period of AFV development.
Bought the new version as a Christmas present for someone who does not have a copy.
PS it is worth more than five stars!

Another great read from David Fletcher. I’ve said this in previous reviews but it bears repeating that the writing style really makes such a difference; a potentially dry subject becomes interesting and quite moorish. Also the depth of knowledge in this book amazes me I guess a lot of time is taken for research coupled with the authors lifetime of experience. Great book buy it you know you want to.

A look into a poorly understood time in military history

This book gave me a clear insight into how tank development in the UK progressed... or did not progress during the inter-war years.

Loved it.
