A Global History of Warfare and TechnologyFrom Slings to Robots /[electronic resource] :by Kaushik Roy. - 1st ed. 2022. - XIV, 189 p. 1 illus.online resource.

Chapter 1. Origins of Warfare in the Stone Age -- Chapter 2 Chariot Warfare in the Bronze Age -- Chapter 3. Infantry and Cavalry in the Iron Age -- Chapter 4 Sailing and Oared Ships -- Chapter 5. Gunpowder Revolution -- Chapter 6. Industrial War -- Chapter 7. Post-Modern Warfare -- Conclusion.

This book addresses the global history of technology, warfare and state formation from the Stone Age to the Information Age. Using a combination of top-down and bottom-up methodologies, it examines both interstate and intrastate conflicts with a focus on Eurasian technology and warfare. It shows how human agency and structural factors have intertwined, creating a complex web of technology and warfare. It also explores the interplay between technological and non-technological factors to chart the evolution of warfare from its origins to the present day, arguing that the interactions between civilian and military sectors have shaped the use of technology in warfare. Given its scope and depth, it is a valuable resource for researchers in fields such as world history, history of science and technology, history of warfare and imperialism and international relations.
