Of Arms and Men: A History of War, Weapons, and Aggression
O'Connell, Robert L. (Senior Intelligence Analyst, Senior Intelligence Analyst, US Army Foreign Science and Technology Center)
A provocative examination of the role and significance of weapons from the dawn of human history to the present, and the attempts of Western civilization to come to terms with the grim results of its own inventiveness. Not simply a history of the technology of weapons, this book integrates the evolution of human society with the development of weapons and strategy into a single, coherent story.
