Firepower: How Weapons Shaped Warfare

byPaul Lockhart

Firepower is Paul Lockhart's historical account of how Weapons Shaped Warfare. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Together, these elements make Firepower an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
