520 1 $a"More often than not, the nightly news gives us the opportunity to see modern weapons in action. But what few people ever get to see is how these ever more complex and powerful weapons come to be. Phrases like "developed by the Pentagon" or a "Department of Defense project" only hint at the real story - that modern weaponry and defense systems are born of technology developed in private, academic, and government labs that are light years ahead of what the military may be using at any given moment." "This book takes a deep look inside these organizations. Author John Edwards has conducted dozens of exclusive, in-depth interviews with scientists and program directors at labs all over the country - the ones with their sleeves rolled up, their computers humming, their minds going places the rest of us don't even know exist. They are, in short, The Geeks of War."--Jacket.
