While exhaustively researched to the point of you definitely will learn at least something after reading this and proving that DeGrasse Tyson knows his stuff (and keep in mind I started reading this before his apparent sex scandal), this book suffers the fatal flaw of: just being boring. I've read a number of amazing nonfiction books about such heady subjects: Walter Isaacson's excellent The Innovators; Kevin Bergsen's What The F; even Ray Kurtzweil's 1,000+ page epic The Singularity is Near. But Accessory to War feels less like what it apparently is trying to be, a moral warning about using science in the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, and more just an endless cramming of facts one after another. I've also read DeGrasse Tyson's excellent book on Pluto so I know he can do better.
