Items related to Firepower: From slings to star wars
This is the first attempt by a military historian to bring into focus all the ingredients affecting the evolution of weapons, showing how tactics, training skills and logistical resources have developed alongside the technology and how even the deadliest weapon can be neutralized. Themes are discussed in broadly chronological order - the primitive uses of fire, medieval terror missiles, light and heavy artillery, small arms and automatic weapons, hand grenades and shrapnel shells, tanks, electronic warfare devices, rockets, missiles, "spies in the sky" and particle beams. Included are personal and historical anecdotes and first-hand reminiscences. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. "Firepower" is an absorbing and stimulating study of methods of winning wars. Firepower does not invariably mean what comes out of the barrel of a gun: it comprises everything from morale to tactics, strategy to logistics, subversion to diplomacy. It examines everything from slings and poisoned arrows to their modern counterparts -- rockets and chemical weapons. It also describes the evolution of aircraft, tanks, underwater craft, and even secret communication. Included are photographs, a bibliography, and an index. This copy is clean and solid.
