A Peripheral Weapon?: The Production and Employment of British Tanks in the First World War (Contributions in Military Studies) Book

The tank was arguably the most important technological innovation that developed during World War I; however, without the support of the British Army and the allocation of important wartime resources, it would have remained merely a peripheral weapon.

While some historians have recently challenged this view, much of the "traditional" versus "progressive" school of thought, in regard to the production and employment of the tank, still survives.
