Washington (UPI) May 7, 2008 –
Bruce Gudmundsson, author of the best book on the development of modern tactics by the German army in World War I, “Stormtroop Tactics,” has a new book out. Its title is “On Armor,” but thankfully it is not another book about tanks. Most books about tanks, like most books about fighting ships and combat aircraft, fall in the category of children’s literature. Their invariable theme is “Look at the big tank/cruiser/fighter go bang/boom/splat.”
