The book provides a detailed overview of the development and use of various types of weapons, including tanks, howitzers, submachine guns, and more historic ordnance. The author's extensive experience in military history and weaponry makes this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the technology and tactics of warfare during this pivotal period in history. The book begins with an introduction to the importance of studying the evolution of technology in warfare, highlighting the need for a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unification of people in a warring state.
