This, of course, is bad, but as long as humanity has existed, it has been at war. One war ended and another began. So people had a lot of experience in fighting. Of course, the thought occurred to many: if only they could build such a cart, such a fighting machine, that they could rush on it towards the enemy and crush everything in their path while remaining invulnerable. Chariots and war elephants are the distant predecessors of the tank, which appeared a hundred years ago and has become a universal weapon of war, without which no army is conceivable today. Learn from this illustrated book about the history of tank building and about tank battles in which the fate of our army was decided.
