Series: Science of War
Description: Humans have used weapons to fight their enemies since the dawn of history. Today's military arsenal is filled with the most accurate and sophisticated tools yet. Read all about these high-tech weapons and the science that went into their development.
Review Quotes: For some reason books about soldiers and their equipment tend to appeal more to boys than girls, particularly at the middle school level, and this series is no exception. Since these are short books they are not very detailed, but they are not lacking in information. Each title focuses on a different aspect of the military, and attempts to show as much as possible about that aspect. I'm looking forward to placing these books in my library and watching them circulate, I think my male students will enjoy them. Recommended.-- "Library Media Connection"
