Alaric Searle – författare

This book charts the history of armoured warfare from the first use of the tank in 1916 right through to the 21st century, adopting military, political and global perspectives. Exploring the origins of the tank, the part it has played in wars throughout the 20th and 21st centuries and its contribution to their outcomes, Alaric Searle offers a complete history of the employment of armoured fighting vehicles in multiple major theatres of war since 1914.Tracing how all kinds of armour have evolved in warfare and as a tool of propaganda, this book includes, but also goes beyond, the World Wars to understand mechanised warfare in Korea, Indo-China and Vietnam, as well as in conflicts such as the Arab-Israeli Wars and Gulf Wars. This revised and updated edition includes new content on the Indo-Pakistan Wars and major wars of decolonisation in Africa, and brings Armoured Warfare up to date. Covering conflicts such as the Syrian Civil War, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Gaza, it considers what the role, and future, is of the tank and other armour in the age of the drone and cyberwarfare.

This book charts the history of armoured warfare from the first use of the tank in 1916 right through to the 21st century, adopting military, political and global perspectives. Alaric Searle explores the origins of the tank, the part it played in the First World War and its contribution to the outcome of the war. He considers its role as a tool of propaganda, the military controversies of the interwar period and the employment of armoured forces in all the major theatres in the Second World War.Since the First World War, major and medium-sized powers have invested heavily in armoured forces. Searle looks at the conduct of mechanised warfare in Korea, Indo-China and Vietnam, and during conflicts such as the Arab-Israeli Wars and the Gulf Wars. Armoured Warfare adopts a global perspective, providing the most comprehensive survey of the history of the subject currently available. With a detailed bibliography of both primary and secondary sources, it is an ideal companion for those studying armoured warfare, modern military history and war studies.

One of the most remarkable mechanized campaigns of recent years pitted the brutal and heavily armed jihadis of Islamic State against an improvised force belonging to the Kurdish YPG (later the SDF). While some Kurdish vehicles were originally from Syrian Army stocks or captured from ISIS, many others were extraordinary homemade AFVs based on truck or digger mechanicals, or duskas, the Kurds'' version of the technical. Before US air power was sent to Syria, these were the Kurds'' most powerful and mobile weapons. Co-written by a British volunteer who fought with the Kurds and an academic expert on armoured warfare, this study explains how the Kurds built and used their AFVs in the war against ''Daesh'', and identifies as far as possible which vehicles took part in major battles, such as Kobane, Manbij and Raqqa. With detailed new artwork depicting the Kurds'' range of armour and many previously unpublished photos, this is an original and fascinating look at modern improvised mechanized warfare.
