Synopsis:
In TANK, Patrick Wright offers an entertaining, insightful, even meditative account of this emblematic vehicle. A brilliant work of military history, this book also explores the tank as a social and cultural object. The author interweaves classic armored campaigns such as the blitzkrieg and Desert Storm with the stunning political impact of tanks in the streets of Prague in 1968 and in Tiananmen Square in 1989. He also explores how the tank became the symbol of technological futurism and unstoppable progress, as well as of totalitarian oppression.
Review:
"Particularly delightful for readers interested in military history, but Wright's witty prose and careful cultural analysis will also appeal to general readers."
Kirkus, 03/01/2002
Review:"Wright's book is an excellent military history of his subject, written in lively prose and with a wealth of unfamiliar detail."
Gordon Craig, New York Review of Books, 04/25/2002
