Tank Turret Fortifications

"Tank Turret Fortifications" traces the origins of the idea from the development of the first armoured turrets in the nineteenth century through to the present day. On the way it covers the inter-war period when the first turrets were used in this way, the Second World War, when tank turrets were used on every front in the European Theater of Operations, and the post-war period, when tank turrets were used even more widely. It also details the decline of the idea as countries reassessed the threats they faced and slowly dismantled all their fixed fortifications.

The book is the very first to cover this specific subject in depth. It is written in English and illustrated with more than 250 photos, drawings, plans and maps. A warmly recommended book!
