Description
Book SynopsisWar X is an explosive introduction to the discussion of modern warfare and a timely consideration of industrial warfare. It is also a deliberation on the startling world of new weapon development, and the indescribable future of war that beckons.
Trade ReviewTim Blackmore's War X is a groundbreaking, mind-altering book: an expose of runaway government and corporate militarism, and the dehumanising effect of military technology. With stunning clarity, energy, intelligence, technological mastery, human understanding, and expositional elegance, what Blackmore describes is not the future; it is the present - and the vision is both hypnotic and chilling. War X should be required reading for every citizen whose country participates in the global culture of militarism and twenty-first-century weapons development. I just can't say how much my own eyes were opened and my own mind was blown by this book.' Philip D. Beidler, Department of English, University of Alabama
