<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>British Tank Production and the War Economy, 1934-1945</i> explores the under-researched experiences of the British tank industry in the context of the pressures of war. Benjamin Coombs explores the various demands placed on British industry during the Second World War, looking at the political, military and strategy pressures involved. <br/><br/>By comparing the British tank programme with the Canadian, American, Russian and Australian equivalents, this study offers an international perspective on this aspect of the war economy. Topics covered include the premature contraction of the tank programme and dependence on American armour, the supply of the Valentine tank to the Russian authorities and the ongoing employment of the tank in the postwar peacetime markets.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Clearly, substantial effort and attention to detail accompanied this thesis turned monograph." - <i>The Historian</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Benjamin Coombs is Assistant Lecturer at the University of Kent, UK.</p>
