“Extraordinary.… A feast of history, an expert tour through thousands of years of war and conquest.”
— Jennifer Carson, New York Times Book Review

In this far-reaching foray into the millennia-long relationship between science and military power, this book examines how the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. Spanning early celestial navigation to satellite-enabled warfare, this is a richly researched and provocative examination of the intersection of science, technology, industry, and power that shows how the universe has shaped our lives and our world.
