Description

Throughout human history, technological innovation has functioned as a driver of civilization and inspired many people's belief in progress. When it comes to warfare, however, where technology is developed and applied with a cruel and deadly logic, a nuanced view is needed. From siege engines to drones, innovation has often served a less enlightened aim: the elimination of the enemy. Featuring conference papers and articles by specialists in military history from around the world, this collection of new essays examines the interdependence between war and technology from a number of regional perspectives.
