Armoured Warfare: A Military, Political and Global History
Autor Alaric Searleen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mar 2027
Tracing how all kinds of armour have evolved in warfare and as a tool of propaganda, this book includes, but also goes beyond, the World Wars to understand mechanised warfare in Korea, Indo-China and Vietnam, as well as in conflicts such as the Arab-Israeli Wars and Gulf Wars. This revised and updated edition includes new content on the Indo-Pakistan Wars and major wars of decolonisation in Africa, and brings Armoured Warfare up to date. Covering conflicts such as the Syrian Civil War, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Gaza, it considers what the role, and future, is of the tank and other armour in the age of the drone and cyberwarfare.
