American Arsenal: A Century of Waging War
Book information
Description
Описывается история создания, испытания и применения американского оружия: атомной бомбы, напалма, дронов, «умных» бомб и много другого вооружения. In American Arsenal Patrick Coffey examines Americas military transformation from an isolationist state to a world superpower. Beginning with Thomas Edisons work on submarine technology, American Arsenal moves from World War I to the present conflicts in the Middle East, covering topics from chemical weapons, strategic bombing, and the nuclear standoff with the Soviet Union, to «smart» bombs, hand-held anti-aircraft missiles, and the Predator and other drone aircrafts. Coffey traces the story of each advance in weaponry from drawing board to battlefield.
