Life in a Tank
You will love reading about the first tanks ever deployed by the U.S. army. Read about these interesting mobile armored vehicles from the point of view of Richard Haigh, Captain of the British Tank Corps and recipient of honorable awards.
Life in a Tank
The first tank book by a tank commander. "Tanks! To the uninitiated the name conjures up a picture of an iron monster breathing fire and exhaling bullets and shells. This new branch of the service with no traditions to build upon, no history, and no laws of tactics, has brought out the individual man, and made him stand out. The tank grew out of the armored motor car, and the fighting men inside were cooped up in a space which reminds one of the old torture chambers, in which there was no room to sit, stand, or lie.

On Foot to Canterbury
Setting off on foot from Winchester, Ken Haigh hikes across southern England, retracing one of the traditional routes that medieval pilgrims followed to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. Walking in honour of his father, a staunch Anglican who passed away before they could begin their trip together, Haigh wonders: Is there a place in the modern secular world for pilgrimage? On his journey, he sorts through his own spiritual aimlessness while crossing paths with writers like Anthony Trollope, John Keats, Jane Austen, Jonathan Swift, Charles Dickens, and, of course, Geoffrey Chaucer. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part literary history, On Foot to Canterbury is engaging and delightful. "My father didn't need this walk, not the way I do. For him it would have been a fun way to spend some time with his son. He had, I begin to realize, a talent for living in the moment Perhaps a pilgrimage would help me find happiness. Perhaps I could walk my way into a better frame of mind, and somehow along the road to Canterbury I would find a new purpose for my life. It was worth a shot." Audio edition from PRH available from Audible, Kobo, Google, and Apple Books.
