British Battle Tanks: British-made Tanks Of World War Ii

This second of a multi-volume history of British tanks by renowned British armor expert David Fletcher MBE traces the story of the British use of the tank through the early years of World War II. It covers the development and use of the Matilda, Crusader, and Valentine tanks that pushed back the Axis in North Africa, the much-improved Churchill that fought with distinction from North Africa to Normandy, and the excellent Cromwell tank of 194445. It also looks at Britain`s super-heavy tank projects, the TOG1 and TOG2, and the Tortoise heavy assault tank, designed to battle through the toughest of battlefield conditions, but never put into production.
