Diplomacy, War, and Technology since 1830, Paperback / softback Book

Diplomacy, War, and Technology since 1830 Paperback / softback

Part of the Studies in Government and Public Policy series

Paperback / softback

Description

No other book combines so much of modern military history with so rich an exploration of related factors in industry, finance, education, and technology, as well as statecraft.

Combining strands of history from all these areas, Pearton makes an unusually complete and cogent case for the breakdown of traditional distinctions between the civil and the military, and even between war and peace.

This is an excellent work of military and economic history.--Russell F.

Weigley, author of The American Way of War. Pearton's historical approach adds needed depth and perspective to many contemporary discussions of the arms problem. . . . This is an illuminating and incisive inquiry into a phenomenon of unquestioned importance.--International Affairs.
