Description
The high-technology weapons of the Gulf War amazed the world. But they are only the beginning of a revolution underway in warfare and military hardware where, despite the end of the Cold War, money is being poured into the global race for ever-deadlier armaments.David Shukman, BBC TV's Defence Correspondent for eight years, meets the inventors of the weapons of the future and ventures into the secret military laboratories of the United States, Russia and Britain. He discovers cruise missiles that 'think', robot soldiers no bigger than ants, superglues and bio-engineered bugs which can immobilise enemy soldiers without killing them - the ultimate peace-keeping weapons.ISBN:9780340649916
