| When the British dispatched 400 tanks against the Germans at the Battle of Cambrai in 1917, the result was a draw for the armies—but a win for the tank, following its first major role in combat. But the initial British successes were due to innovations in artillery, not tanks—and tanks didn’t keep the Germans from recapturing their losses. Bryn Hammond shows how generals and politicians seduced by the tank’s mythical abilities helped create a more mobile army in the following decades.
