Summary
From Dunkirk to North Africa, from D-Day to Hamburg, the 5th Royal Tank Regiment were in the frontline. Few regiments had longer wars or saw more action than the 'Filthy Fifth'.

In this remarkable narrative history, acclaimed author Mark Urban tells the story of World War II through the eyes of this brave regiment. In many ways, the fighting Fifth's journey reflects Britain - early losses turned to eventual victory through ingenuity, daring and exceptional bravery. Fighting against overwhelming odds, they beat back the infamous German Panzer Divisions and paved the way for an Allied resurgence.

Drawing on interviews, archives and new sources, The Tank War is a moving personal story which brings a fresh perspective on the crucial role of tanks in the Allied victory.
