Publisher's Synopsis

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, where technology is 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: elimination of the enemy.

This collection of new essays from specialists in military history examines the interdependence between war and technology from a number of regional perspectives.
