(illustrator). 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book Description : 1988, 1st Ed. burgundy leather hardback (no jacket); 226 pages with photographs and illustrations, sources, and index; G+. The First World War has been described as the first technological war in history although scant attention has been given to the scientific advances it impelled. Guy Hartcup's book redresses this issue. He assembles and evaluates the panoply of inventions of Allies and Opponents made during the course of the war, and the personalities, campaigns and structural organisation that helped foster the setting in which these new or improved inventions could be created. With advances in armaments, acoustics, and aeronautics as well as food substitutes, medicine, and surgery, WWI saw the dawn of a new type of war determined as much by scientists as by soldiers. Book Condition : Good Plus : mild bumping to head and foot of spine cover and slight shelfwear; otherwise leather to covers in excellent condition; denting to corner tips and small front edge knock; gilding intact and bright; ffep has owner's nameplate and yellow marker circle to top right hand corner; mild signs of occasional thumbing/thumb smudge; very small biro mark at title page; otherwise inner pages retain original whiteness; binding secure and sound.
