Valuable early history of the Corps: "...a short but clear history of the tank from the time of its conception in the minds of numerous inventors to the end of the War. Major Williams-Ellis reacches the conclusion that, 'every other factor being cancelled out, the fact that the French & the English possessed tanks & the Germans did not was just enough to win the last war for the Allies." - Falls. Neatly complements other contemp. histories & memoirs. Orig. red cloth, titled in red to front & sp., VG in neatly repaired & scarce dw. See illustration on our website.
