U.S. Armed Forces Arsenal: A Guide to Modern Combat Hardware Paperback - 2004

by Samuel a. Southworth


From the publisher

Today's arsenal of war contains some of the most sophisticated weapons ever seen on the battlefield. The technological revolution has drastically altered how war is fought and brought about the invention of some highly unusual (and effective) weapons. In the recent war with Iraq, we caught a glimpse of the new high-tech weapons in America's arsenal and the wide-ranging array of modern equipment and transportation used by our armed forces. America's modern military hardware is the envy -and fear-of the world.In U.S. Armed Forces Arsenal, noted military historian Samuel A. Southworth takes the reader on an informal and informative guided tour of this new arsenal of weaponry. He explains in clear and concise prose the new generation of military hardware, from rifles to mortars, jeeps to tanks, robotic drones to night vision sensors, and all manner of bombs, missiles and rockets-the arms and armaments that have reshaped the way the U.S. goes to war, on land and sea and in the air.

First line

IN A WORLD of weapons of mass destruction, chemical, nuclear, and biological nightmares, fast-moving jets and helicopters, cruise missiles and more-or-less effective missile defense sys , aircraft carriers and submarines, it's easy to forget that nobody has yet come up with a better way to make the enemy surrender than to put well-trained soldiers in that enemy's capi city with rifles in their hands.
