Hi Clive,
Perhaps you were also entertained by my thoughts about war and peace, which is an issue to which I have given long and sustained thought.
(I have been on both sides of the coin; first a peacenik, and then a warmonger...... but now I tend to have a more realistic view of the situation.)
The book is more of a quick and entertaining overview, without much in the way of technical detail, and it doesn't try to come to grips with the very latest technologies or projected technologies. (e.g. its Coverage of robotic warfare, directed energy weapons, and other hot current topics, is quite minimal)
It is really the breadth of coverage that makes the book so thought provoking..... I thought it was a nice concept to try to bring together "most every weapon" in a non-technical level book.
For those of us who want much much more detail about weapons, there are always the infinite numbers of magazines and websites about military technology!
cheers,
Robert
