A very good book by David fletcher covering a point in time of the problem of mechanised forces and how the British Army were able to experiment and develop but also the restraints of government procurement and political attitudes towards the military in peace time

Excellent research on an overlooked era
Not only was this really well researched, referencing many difficult to find sources, but it was also a very enjoyable read. Top marks

A Modern Classic
I bought the original edition when it came out and rated it very highly then as I do all this series from David Fletcher. It is clear they were written by someone with a love and feel for the subjects.
My copy has a prominent place on my bookshelf and is referred to regularly as it is a mine of information on this fascinating period of AFV development.
Bought the new version as a Christmas present for someone who does not have a copy.
PS it is worth more than five stars!
