Sinopsis:
Rewritten by Dewi Sulistya Wati. Ernest Swinton never imagined that his journey on the French battlefield in 1914 would change military history forever. A letter from Hugh Marriott about a long-forgotten tracked tractor suddenly sparked a revolutionary idea in his mind: what if there was a vehicle that could protect soldiers from a rain of bullets and cross enemy trenches with ease? However, whenever he proposed the concept, the answer was always the same—rejection. Undeterred, Swinton used every possible way to spread his idea: talking to military leaders, writing secret reports, and even looking for allies within the government. His struggle finally paid off, though not without challenges. When the first prototype of the tank was tested, all eyes were on it—could this machine truly change warfare, or was it just another failed experiment? But even after the first tank entered the battlefield in 1916, Swinton had to face a bitter truth: he wasn’t the only one claiming to have come up with the idea. Would the world remember him as the pioneer of mechanical warfare, or just as a shadow in history? The answer lies in his life’s journey, filled with intrigue, strategy, and tireless struggle.
