8 Rethinking the relations of science, technology, industry and warAppendices; Index. |
Summary |
This groundbreaking book challenges the central theme of the existing histories of twentieth-century Britain, that the British state was a welfare state. It argues that it was also a warfare state, which supported a powerful armaments industry, and analyses the relations of science, technology, industry and the military. |
