Book excerpt: 'Victory has many fathers, but defeat in an orphan is a military motto which is well-applied to the development of that war-winning 20th century weapon, the tank. So successful was the tank, and so revolutionary its effect on warfare, that many, among them Winston Churchill have good claims to be its 'father . The author of this book is one of the tank s many parents. After offering to give the army an armoured car paid for by himself, Stern was commissioned and saw at first hand the development of the 'landship as it was known. Churchill persuaded prime minister Asquith to approve the development of a machine for crushing barbed wire entanglements early in 1915. Manufactured in great secrecy in LIncoln, the first tanks were ready for action in September 1916 and were deployed to try and break the deadlock on the Somme. Stern s account follows the tank through various bureaucratic and other obstacles from the drawing board to the battlefield, As such his book is an indispensible account by an insider of the birth of armoured warfare. Interestingly illustrated with many photographs of early tanks and their pioneers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tanks: The Log-Book of a Pioneer, 1914-1918 MY experiences in the great war may be of interest to a peaceful world in years to come. In July 1914: rumours of war brought up threatening clouds in a sky already darkened by strikes and revolutionary unrest among the industrial workers. Banking circles in London were already more than cautious, and when the crash came we had anxious moments. I remember well attending a meeting of bankers at the Bank of England, under the chairmanship of Lord Cunliffe. Sir Edward Holden was the commanding figure. I must pay my wages on Friday, he said, and we must have Bank Holidays until enough currency has been printed to be able to do so. His advice was followed and all the impending disasters were averted. Here, I first saw (in the war) the advantage of a definite cure administered by a strong man. At this time, also, I saw Mr. Lloyd George at work. It was on a question of Bills of Exchange. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
