Melding strategic, technical, and tactical aspects, Friedman approaches World War I from a fresh perspective and demonstrates how its perceived lessons dominated the way navies prepared for World War II. 

In this magnificent synthesis of military, technological, and social history, William H. McNeill explores a whole millennium of human upheaval and traces the path by which we have arrived at the frightening dilemmas that now confront us. McNeill moves with equal mastery from the crossbow - banned by the Church in 1139 as too lethal for Christians to use against one another - to the nuclear missile, from the sociological consequences of drill in the 17th century to the emergence of the military-industrial complex in the 20th.

Today's changes may be new and may be happening faster than ever before. But our ancestors at times were just as bewildered by rapid upheavals in what we now call “networks” - the physical links that bind any society together.

These aren't hypothetical. They're already happening to lawyers who adopted AI without a framework. And the lawyers who made those mistakes weren't careless—they were experienced, diligent, and trying to keep up.

Damon Cross is a journalist whose cynicism is his armor.

Instead, he finds a town gripped by a seventy-year silence and a terrifying truth buried in the static. The legend is real. But it's not a creature. It's a machine.
