Механичните зверове, които превзеха бойното поле: http://knigolandia.info/book-review/t...

Книгата е разделена на три раздела – историята на танковете заема първите четиридесетина страници, като реално това е и история на мащабните конфликти от Първата световна война до края на Студената война и малко отвъд нея. Там подробно е разгледана еволюцията на танка, която определено не се развива особено преди катализатора на Втората световна война да доведе до създаването на механични зверове, които визуално поне не са се променили особено в следващите десетилетия – но всъщност всичко по тях технологично напредва ударно, точно както при самолетите.
