Tanks in Unexpected Places considers how fighting effectiveness was both produced and maintained during the Second World War. 4th Independent Armoured Brigade, the subject of the study, was part of the relatively small minority of British formations that fought in several theatres during that war. The book demonstrates that the brigade's ubiquity was due in large parts to its ability to generate and sustain fighting effectiveness. To this end, the work examines three key areas - leadership, morale and organisational learning at the tactical level in the British Army during the Second World War with a particular focus on 1943 to 1945. Drawing on extensive archival research including documents not seen before, as well as participant interviews, Tanks in Unexpected Places explores the history, role and organisational culture of 4th Armoured Brigade. Why was this brigade chosen for the 'knottier problems'? How did a single brigade produce three subsequent Chiefs of the General Staff? This work will be of interest to historians, military professionals and anyone with an interest in the British Army during the Second World War. 10 b/w photos, 5 colour maps, 6 figures, 3 tables
