Who were some opponents of early tank development? I'm trying to do research on the subject, and of course there's the story of Churchill needing to steal money to fund the landship committee and stuff, but who exactly opposed it and why? Searching terms like "anti tank" or "tank opponents" just turns up anti-tank warfare.

Maybe look up Pro-Horse factions during the change, people who owned horses, had vested interests in horse, suppliers of stabling, tack and feed, horse breeders, horse numbers over time, popularity of horse racing vs motor car racing, etc? Bringing in a new technology often means having to fight the people who have lived with or make a living off the technology (in this case horse) to be replaced.

>just go look for random books in the library
Oh, yeah, sure. I'll go look in the 'history' section. It must be between "Book about D-Day #1' and 'Book about Holocaust #2".

This is why Death Traps doesn't go away.

>>Doesn't specify which books.
If I knew the books I'd name them. But alas, I'm not a tank autist so I don't know what those are.

I *do* recognize the problem though: anon is looking for information which the internet doesn't have. The internet is great for stuff that's old enough to be out of copyright, or stuff that's new and trendy. It fucking sucks for anything not in either of those two categories. The information anon wants will be tied up in books. You can use google to identify them--that's something Google is actually good for.
