Ideas and Weapons : I. B. Holley, Jr. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Given the enormous destructive capacity of precision weapons in the modern era and the inherent vulnerabilities of modern society to high technology attack, this book is more relevant today than when it was first written in the midst of the nuclear age, in 1953. Remaining one of the finest texts ever written on the history of warfare and weapons acquisition, this is a thorough and reliable work that should be a standard reference for acquisition managers and decisionmakers, providing a guide to informed decisionmaking that reflects the experience and lessons of the past.
