Explanation of these and other humiliating failures has centred predominantly on the shortcomings of the tanks employed by British formations. Essentially, an orthodoxy has emerged that the roots of failure lay in the comparative weakness of Allied equipment and to a lesser extent in training and doctrine.

This new study challenges this view by analysing the reality and level of the supposed failure and the causes behind it. By studying the role of the armoured brigades as well as the divisions, a more complete and balanced analysis is offered in which it is clear that while some technologically based difficulties were encountered, British armoured forces achieved a good deal when employed appropriately. Such difficulties as did occur resulted from British operational techniques, methods of command and leadership and the operating environment in which armour was employed. In addition, the tactics and doctrine employed by both British and German armoured forces resulted in heavy casualties when on the offensive. Ultimately, the experience of the crews and the effects of fighting on their morale is studied to provide a complete picture of the campaign.]]> 1142162 3.25 4 1 2004 3311887 0671634577 9780671634575 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3311887.Family_Politics_A_Novel 2.00 1 1142162 3.25 4 1 1988 7397596 0700252010 9780700252015 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7397596-guitar-sonata-no-2 0.0 0 1142162 3.25 4 1 3259509 0.0 0 0 1998 7390659 0735582041 9780735582040 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7390659-multistate-payroll-guide-2010-edition 0.0 0 1142162 3.25 4 1 2009 7381794 033349234X 9780333492345 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7381794-implementing-management-training-in-secondary-schools 0.0 0 1142162 3.25 4 1 3244376 0.0 0 0 11387 3.97 154 38 1990 7266723 0846413612 9780846413615 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7266723-guide-to-world-commodity-markets 0.0 0 1142162 3.25 4 1 1990 7199234 0749420030 9780749420031 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7199234-guide-to-world-commondity-markets 0.0 0 1142162 3.25 4 1 1997 7059499 1602641250 9781602641259 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7059499-prophecy-unveiled 0.0 0 1142162 3.25 4 1 2007 6638800 0415407737 9780415407731 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6638800-british-armour-in-the-normandy-campaign-1944 0.0 0 1142162 3.25 4 1 2004
