Science Goes to War

This was a very interesting book. full of factual information. It studys the whole world in leangthy process not just the US. Says a lot about the A bomb as far back as Da Vinci.

Astounding and frightning must read

Absolutely one of the best, most accurate, well-documented, and organized books on the subject of science being "the bringer of evil; the bringer of life." It isn't lite reading, but the knowledge gained from its pages will affect the way you think about the risks and benefits of technology forever. Be strong, be brave, be afraid.
