Chronicling the hits, the misses, and the important technological advances produced by the U.S. militarys high-tech hubs - aviation, wireless communication, the Internet, atomic energy, satellite technology, and space travel - this richly illustrated book takes readers from the ironclads, land mines, and ship-launched hydrogen balloons of the Civil War to the world-changing bombs of the Atomic Age.
