Death by Design: British Tank Development in the Second World War by Peter Beale, ISBN 9780752453705

> Military Books > Vehicles Books > Tanks Books Author: Peter Beale When Britain went to war in 1939 its tank crews were ill- equipped, under trained and badly led. Compared with German and Soviet tank forces, the performance of British tank units during the Second World War was largely ineffective and the lives of hundreds of British tank crews were wasted unnecessarily. This was not only due to poor design, but also to the lack of thought and planning on the part of successive pre-war governments and the War Office. Death by Design reviews British tank development up to 1945 and attempts to identify the causes that led to those forces being so ill-prepared to fight during the Second World War. This is a lesson from history about how a nation must always be prepared to defend itself and the dangers that befall their troops when such preparations are not made.
