Exploring the origins of the tank, the part it has played in wars throughout the 20th and 21st centuries and its contribution to their outcomes, Alaric Searle offers a complete history of the employment of armoured fighting vehicles in multiple major theatres of war since 1914.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracing how all kinds of armour have evolved in warfare and as a tool of propaganda, this book includes, but also goes beyond, the World Wars to understand mechanised warfare in Korea, Indo-China and Vietnam, as well as in conflicts such as the Arab-Israeli Wars and Gulf Wars. This revised and updated edition includes new content on the Indo-Pakistan Wars and major wars of decolonisation in Africa, and brings \u003ci\u003eArmoured Warfare\u003c\/i\u003e up to date. Covering conflicts such as the Syrian Civil War, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Gaza, it considers what the role, and future, is of the tank and other armour in the age of the drone and cyberwarfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlaric Searle \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of History at University of Potsdam, Germany, and Academic Director, Head of Research and Deputy Commander at the Bundeswehr Centre for Military History and Social Sciences, Potsdam, Germany.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350538030\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51331902472332,"sku":"9781350538030","price":31.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_1bd57a3d-2479-41c4-a691-453ffb098928.jpg?v=1783599939","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350538030","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
