A fully illustrated description of the impact of science and technology on war from the days of the American Civil War to Vietnam. The rise of the machine gun, chemical warfare and the tank led on to radar and the astonishing galaxy of equipment used by both sides in the Second World War. The devices of the Petroleum department, the birth of Colossus and the plans for iceberg Aircraft Carriers were all involved. The story is completed by accounts of the Cold War nuclear arsenals of the late '70s.
