Weapons and Machines in Warfare (Paperback)

From the earliest days of warfare, the side with the most technologically advanced weapons was often the victor. From the two World Wars and the Cold War to Vietnam and the Gulf War, readers are taken on a tour of the history of military technology in the 20th century, examining the machines and weaponry that played an essential part in major victories. As they learn about the armored cars used in World War I, the cruise missiles developed during the Cold War, and many other innovations, they strengthen their understanding of both world history and the different areas of STEM.
