Of arms and men : a history of war, weapons, and aggression
O'Connell, Robert L.1990
Books
Drawing upon anthropology, biology, psychology, sociology and literature, this brilliant insight into why men go to war traces the changes that have occurred in weapons and tactics since prehistoric times. Robert O'Connell demonstrates how the technology unleashed during World War I made human qualities almost irrelevant to the conduct of war, until now, in the nuclear age, humanity has become subservient to the weapons it has made.
