This is the defining book on the theory and practise of tank warfare, by the man who became one of Hitler's most able generals.
Germany's opening run of victory in World War II was only made possible by the panzer forces that General Heinz Guderian (1888-1954), the father of modern tank warfare, had created and trained, and by his audacious leadership of those forces from 1939-1941.
Heinz Guderian - master of the Blitzkrieg and father of modern tank warfare - commanded the German XIX Army Corps as it rampaged across Poland in 1939. This book presents an account of one of the most effective fighting force in modern history by the man who commanded it.
