Weapons of War is an authoritative and up-to-the minute briefing on the armaments of the two major power blocs, NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries.  In clear detail Christy Campbell presents the facts about modern conventional war; about nuclear war; and about the use of rapid deployment forces.  He catalogues weapons-aircraft, ships, missiles and tanks-and their capabilities as well as the assumptions and strategies that are their reason for being.
