The author examines the ways in which technology affects and is affected by war. He argues that "it is not military technology per se that transforms the conduct of war, but the military's adaptation of societal innovations--nonmilitary items like oxcarts, writing, maps, clocks, surveying, and communications." (Bull At Sci) Annotated bibliography. Index.
