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. (  ) Skyehighmileage | Dec 9, 2009 |  Too much human interest. Not enough sixty tonne steel beasts blasting chunks out of each oher. (  ) jontseng | Feb 11, 2009 | 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. ( ) jcovington | Jul 18, 2007 | A wonderfully eclectic biography of the tank: as constructed entity, as social icon, as symbol of the 20th century.
