About the Book: Crafted by best-selling historian and former Royal Tank Regiment officer Mark Urban, TANK chronicles the evolution of this iconic war machine from its 1916 introduction to its role in modern conflicts like the war in Ukraine. Drawing on a wealth of accounts from soldiers, designers, and politicians, Urban uses the stories of ten of the most significant tanks—from the British Mark IV of World War I to the American M1 Abrams—to explore how these vehicles have continuously adapted to and influenced warfare. Supported by The Tank Museum and featuring exclusive archival sources, interviews, and declassified documents, this book offers a compelling history of a military innovation that has defined over a century of conflict.
