The author, H. Bruce Franklin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, March 30, 1998
The American superweapon from the submarine to star wars. From Robert Fulton's
submarine to Star Wars, the superweapon has been a fatal lure in American
culture. Promising to end war, it has made war ever more menacing to our
species.END
=====================
This is an excellent and rather terrifying book. It appeals to both the
science-fiction fan and the student of war, and it includes a lot of material
on the personalities involved in the weapons game--including Thomas Alva
Edison, "the Great Inventor," whose greatest invention was...himself, or
rather his public image. It also does a lot to explain why Reagan bought into
the "Strategic Defense Initiative" (High Frontier/Star Wars) scheme. *And* it
is a damn good read into the bargain!
