Book Description
In this meticulously researched book, Azar Gat overturns recent historiographical trends in the study of British and German armor developments between the two world wars. He dispels some of the serious allegations leveled against leading British armor theorist B.H. Liddell Hart, placing his ideas in their proper relation to those of other leading British theorist and to the practice of British armor formations during that period. Utilizing untapped German sources, he traces the ideas and dynamics that made possible Germany's "Blitzkrieg" victories in the opening stage of World War II.

About the Author
Azar Gat is Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Political Science at Tel Aviv University, Israel.
