Pearton, Maurice
The Knowledgeable State: Diplomacy, War and Technology Since 1830
287 pages. Footnotes. Select Bibliography. Index. "The traditional view of peace and war holds that irrespective of how they may be defined and justified, they represent opposit poles of experience. Today, however, preparedness for war is a continuous activity, reaching into all aspects of society and eroding, even nullifying, conventional distinctions about the 'civil' and 'military' spheres of life. The reasons are mainly to be found in men's response to the opportunities offered by technology in the industrial age." - from Preface. Clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Price-clipped dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A handsome copy of this fascinating study. Book
