The history of tanks is indeed a microcosm of how warfare has evolved over the past century, as well as a potent symbol of military might, and for many of us their visual and nostalgic appeal are irresistible. Produced by the United Kingdom's Tank Museum and written by curator David Willey, this profusely illustrated book covers more than 400 tanks from the first prototypes to Challenger 2 and the unmanned vehicles and tanks of the future. The detail photos take you right inside a variety of tanks, putting you in the seat of some of the most formidable vehicles to ever go into battle.
