When the first tanks lumbered onto the battlefields of the Western Front in 1916, they created an enduring myth and tapped into deep currents in the 20th-century mind: into ideas of unstoppable progress and of technological futurism.

This is is what I call the "History of Beekeeping in Nova Scotia" school of history. Wildly entertaining and insightful. Lenin makes an appearance, for example -iconography, anyone?

Not simply a recitation of the mechanical facts, there's a lot in here about the perception and impact of tanks. My interest is in the very early stages and their use in WWI and perhaps I'd have like a bit more hard detail, but I can probably get that elsewhere. ( )

That this book is listed as published by Penguin (Non-Classics) is not ironic in any sense of the word.

This book is boring on so many levels and it really should not be. The author wants to look at the psychological impact of tanks and the imagery of tanks over the last century. He just goes about his business in a very boring fashion. ( )

A wonderfully eclectic biography of the tank: as constructed entity, as social icon, as symbol of the 20th century. ( )
