Review (PDF) Churchill Infantry Tank 1941-51 (New Vanguard)
The Churchill was undoubtedly one of the most successful British tanks of the Second World War. Although it suffered from being underarmed, a defect common to most British armoured vehicles of the period, it was nevertheless loved by its crews: its cross-country ability was unrivalled and it was less inclined to 'brew-up' from a direct hit than the Sherman. It was also adaptable. Modified Churchills played a crucial part in the initial D-Day landings and in the subsequent advance through France. Bryan Perrett traces the life of this slow-moving but effective and respected tank from its initial inception through till its eventual obsolescence.

good short review of the Churchill tank
nice book
With the addition of six pages, his book is essentially an update of the author's previous work, The Churchill Tank..None of the errors (including some dozen-plus in Chappell's drawings)in the earlier book have been corrected with the exception of two which, on Page 44, correctly identifies 31 and 34 Tank Brigades.
