In this captivating third installment of his comprehensive and meticulously illustrated three-volume history of the evolution of armoured manoeuvre warfare in the British army, Dick Taylor delves into the post-war era, spanning from the years after World War II to the present day. He provides a detailed account of how the Royal Armoured Corps experienced a rapid contraction after 1945, grappling with the dual challenges of National Service and extensive involvement in numerous wars and campaigns across the globe. Taylor vividly recounts the transformation of the RAC into a fully professional organization by the early 1960s, and continues the narrative of disbandments, downsizing, and amalgamations. This narrative, which blends social and operational aspects, prominently features personal accounts of soldiers, lending a poignant human touch to the story.
The book takes readers on a journey through the Cold War in Germany (BAOR), shedding light on the role played by British armour in the conflicts that unfolded during that era. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, Taylor explores the significant role British armour played in conflicts in the Gulf, the Balkans, and Afghanistan. His thoroughgoing account concludes with an assessment of the RAC in 2021, in the immediate aftermath of another defence review.
Through his meticulous research and engaging storytelling, Dick Taylor has produced a definitive account of the evolution of armoured warfare in the British army. This trilogy is a valuable resource for military enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of warfare and the role of armoured vehicles in shaping history.
