Notable quote: "In areas where tanks (future combat vehicles) can move freely we must divorce our minds completely from present-day tactics, for fighting will be very different."

Known as the Bible of mechanized warfare, Armored Warfare was written by John Frederick Charles Fuller (1878-1966), a British military strategist and an early theorist of armored warfare. In this book, Fuller, who had served in World War I, systematically expounds on the theories of mechanization and the use of armored fighting vehicles in modern warfare. He criticized conventional military thinking and called for penetrating the enemy's major defensive lines through the use of mechanized forces. Fuller's tactics on armored warfare exerted great influence on World War II. Even today, the equipment system of the ground army in the world still follows his planning.
