Habeck traces the strategies developed between the wars for the use of armored vehicles in battle. Only in Germany and the Soviet Union were truly original armor doctrines (generally known as "blitzkreig" and "deep battle") fully implemented. Storm of Steel relates how the German and Soviet armies formulated and chose to put into practice doctrines that were innovative for the time, yet in many respects identical to one another.As part of her extensive archival research in Russia, Germany, and Britain, Habeck had access to a large number of formerly secret and top-secret documents from several post-Soviet archives. This research informs her comparative approach as she looks at the roles of technology, shared influences, and assumptions about war in the formation of doctrine. She also explores relations between the Germans and the Soviets to determine whether collaboration influenced the convergence of their armor doctrines. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 606 $aTank warfare 606 $aMilitary doctrine$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMilitary doctrine$zSoviet Union$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aTank warfare. 615 0$aMilitary doctrine$xHistory 615 0$aMilitary doctrine$xHistory 676 $a358/.18/094309041 700 $aHabeck$b Mary R.$0960264 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808200603321 996 $aStorm of steel$93961644 997 $aUNINA
