How To Win A War.
Many of today's most sophisticated weapons were derived from instruments of war that were first in use in pre-Christian and medieval times. Whilst some of the secrets of these early terror weapons - like 'Greek fire', which could burn on water and stick to stone - have been lost, this fascinating history of man's implements of destruction traces comprehensively the evolution of aircraft, tanks, underwater craft - and even the art of secret communication.
Arranged in chronological order, the book includes a survey of modern weapons and their systems, explaining those currently available in the armouries of NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries, and shows how - with the right motivation - even the deadliest weapons can be neutralised.
Firepower is an absorbing and stimulating study of the ways wars are won. As well as what comes out of the barrel of a gun, this comprises everything from morale to tactics, strategy to logistics, subversion to diplomacy.
