Even then it was one sided for the Allies did not have to contend with German tanks. By World War II anti-tank warfare had become of paramount importance and Colonel Weeks is the first military writer to devote a complete book to the subject, the development of weapons and tactics throughout their relatively brief but significant history with a look into the future.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with NO MAJOR FAULTS.*
