Soldiers on both sides of the war had never seen such monstrous, rolling machines that could withstand the bullets hurled at them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile the tank may have lost some of the mystical aura it first carried onto the battlefield, it is still one of the most fearsome tools of warfare. Modern tanks have evolved significantly from their ponderous forefathers of the Great War; they now race across the battlefield at forty miles per hour wielding massive main guns and are specifically designed to withstand even the most savage attacks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExplore the history of this great war-machine in Philip Kaplan's \u003ci\u003eTank\u003c\/i\u003e, a lavishly illustrated book that tracks the tank's development and action over the decades since they first appeared on the Somme in 1916 through the Gulf War of 1991.
