If they really become operative in War?

1. This is a fascinating book on tools and accessories of war. A book written with detailed research on issues related to future of weapon technologies namely Nuclear, Space, Rocketry, Robotics, Biological, Chemical and other related fields.2. Two important characteristics of the book stand out. They are as follows:-(a) While this book is a detailed one, it does not make readers confused in jargons. One easily understands the author's point of view.(b) Despite the book being related to future but not so distant weapons and their technology, it holds the readers attention till the end.3. The author has been highly successful in highlighting the positive and the pitfalls, the obvious and the dichotomy and the dilemma of haves and have not of modern weapons, the conventional and the unconventional. It is really scary to read about some areas of research and realise that if this is given in to hands of armies and the radicals alike, it could well be the final weapon in those hands. They would not require any thing more to realise their objective.4. Only hope from such a scenario is also well covered in the book that somebody somewhere would be working in an area of research, which would counter such weapons. 5. All those who have any stake in weaponry or the mankind or both should read this book. Even for the others, its worth reading for knowledge sake.
