This book breaks new ground in looking at the role of science in warfare. In the last century new inventions in transport increased the range of warfare across the globe, by train, plane and automobile. Automatic weapons and mass production brought killing on an unprecedented scale.
Garden examines the main areas of scientific research and assesses the military implications It rejects those which lead to expensive toys of no practical value but highlights those which may become threats to future stability.
