Ingenious defensive positions, hewn with barbed wire and protected by machine-gun nests, posed seemingly insoluble problems for the infantry of all armies in the First World War. When the first armoured cars, under their camouflage name "tank", were used by the British in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 and set out to overcome positional warfare, it meant a revolution for future warfare. In this extraordinary volume, the authors describe the development of the world's first armoured fighting vehicles, their testing and their deployment in the years between 1914 and 1918 on the side of Germany and its wartime enemies, which was accompanied by much scepticism and technical problems.
