Download or read book The Tank War written by Mark Urban and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wealth of research, from interviews with surviving members to a treasure trove of rarely used archive material, Mark Urban has produced an unflinchingly honest, unsentimental account of the 5th RTR's wartime experiences. Capturing both characters in their crew and exploring the strategy behind their success, 'The Tank War' is not the story of an elite unit, but something more amazing: a regular unit of average men, thrust into war, who pulled together to achieve extraordinary things.
