Skilful, though partial account by the man whose claim to be the 'originator' of the tank has been described as 'an outrageous piece of conceit'. Still informative & essential reading. Orig. black cloth, gilt, dec. with bands in Tank Corps colours, VG in chipped & torn but generally intact & scarce dw decorated with Tank Corps colours & illustrated with Muihead Bone's drawing 'The Tank.' See illustrations on our website.
