Why read it?

1 author picked Achtung-Panzer! The Development of Tank Warfare as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Guderian, a name that is synonymous with mechanized warfare started his career as a Signal Officer in WW I. He describes in great detail how the tank changed modern warfare. This book is not only the tale of how he fought to introduce armour tactics to the German army during the inter-war years but also how armour is best employed in battle. Every armour officer must read this book; but it is also worthwhile for the general reader looking for insights into tactical employments, leadership, and history.

From Charles' list on military tactical thinking.
