Despite the promise of its title, James Dunnigan’s Digital Soldiers: The
Evolution of High Tech Weapons and Tomorrow’s Brave New Battlefield sets out to
attack the military’s obsession with technology. Dunnigan provides a thorough
survey of weapons development on the way, but by the end you’re left feeling
he’s added little that’s new to the already well-worn arguments. Published by St
Martin’s Press, New York, £10.99/$15.95, ISBN 0312182392.
