A compact history of 300,000 years of military technology. Shows that technology is the primary driver of changes in warfare, and that military needs constantly generate technological innovation. Reveals the modern trend toward dual-use technologies, such as airplanes, radio, rockets, and computers, which have both military and civilian applications. Explains why technology has always favoured victory in warfare but has never guaranteed it.
