In the annals of military history, few units have captured the imagination like the tank crews of World War II. These men, encased in steel behemoths, were often the spearhead of Allied and Axis advances, facing unimaginable danger and hardship.

In his book Tank Men, Charles Whiting provides a gripping account of the lives of these extraordinary soldiers. Based on interviews with over 100 veterans, Whiting offers a unique insight into their experiences, from the exhilaration of combat to the horrors of war.

Whiting begins by introducing us to the different types of tanks used in World War II, from the British Matilda to the German Panzer IV. He then follows the tank crews through the major battles of the war, from the invasion of Poland to the Battle of Berlin.

Along the way, Whiting provides vivid descriptions of the tank battles that defined the war. He recounts the stories of individual tank commanders, such as Michael Wittmann, the German tank ace who claimed over 100 kills, and Vasily Zaistev, the Soviet sniper who killed over 200 enemy soldiers.

But Tank Men is more than just a military history. It is also a human story. Whiting explores the motivations of the tank crews, their fears, and their hopes. He shows us how they coped with the horrors of war, and how they managed to maintain their humanity in the face of unimaginable violence.

Tank Men is a must-read for anyone interested in military history or World War II. It is a gripping, informative, and ultimately moving account of the lives of the men who fought in the most brutal conflict in human history.
