Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is not just about the history of warfare, but an exploration of the impact of scientific progress on the art of battle. The author examines the epoch-making shifts brought about by technological breakthroughs between the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the cataclysmic end to the Great War in 1918. It provides an engaging overview of how science-based advancements, such as the invention of smokeless powder and the internal combustion engine, have transformed weaponry and tactics. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the complex and often paradoxical relationship between warfare and scientific innovation, questioning whether scientific progress inevitably leads to increased human suffering.
