The A-Z of Nuclear Jargon
Jonathon Green
This dictionary explains the concepts and demystifies the technology behind the jargon of nuclear warfare. It covers all areas: strategies and tactics, personnel and weapons systems, arms control and disarmament talks. It spans a period from the first tentative post-Hiroshima ideas and systems through to the near-fiction concepts of the 'Star Wars' initiative and beyond.
Compendium of Armaments and Military Hardware
Weapons and weapon systems of all types coritinue to increase in quantity and complexity, despite non-proliferation treaties. At the same time, information on the various types of hardware associated with the modern combined-arms battlefield becomes increasingly difficult to find without consulting a whole battery of sources. The Compendium of Armaments and Military Hardware will be especially valuable - to the professional and generál reader alike, as well as to weapons 'buffs' - in that it provides within a single volume the salient technical and operational details of all the most important modern weapons.
The complete rangé of hardware used in land, sea and airforces throughout the world is covered, from tanks to rockét systems, submarines to amphibious craft, helicopters to cruise missiles, and full details of physicai factors such as size, weight and operational rangé aregiven. Thebook's main strength, though, lies in the detail it gives of armament and associated ammunition capabilities, and of the sensors and other electronics required for the weapons to be used effectively.
