This is the second edition, revised and updated. It has added new information about some rare models of armored personnel carriers.
This book is devoted to the tanks and wheeled armored vehicles of England, which were used during the Second World War. Here you can learn the history of their creation and compare tactical and technical characteristics. Also, there are examples of the participation of armored vehicles in certain battles.
The development of British armored vehicles in the prewar years reflected a conflict of opinion on the nature of the future war. Supporters of the creation of mechanized armies, who believed that the Second World War with their participation should end quickly, with a single strategic strike that within days or even hours would decide the outcome of the battles and force the enemy to surrender, insisted on the creation of "cruising" tanks.
