Bernard & Fawn Brodie, “From Crossbow to H-Bomb: The Evolution of the Weapons and Tactics of Warfare in Light of Science and Invention”, 1962 was a nonfiction book of science in war history.

The history of science and invention was used as an outline for a historical perspective on warfare.

In science fiction, warfare is often adapted to different time periods.

For example, in “Star Wars” we have a protagonist “Luke Skywaker” sword-fighting with the samurai-like “Darth Vader”.

Bernard & Fawn Brodie, “From Crossbow to H-Bomb”, 1962 uses the names of scientists in Harrison Horblit’s, “100 Books Famous in the History of Science”, 1964 because they are famous.

The book is a good compliment to readers from other genre.
