Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military by Neil deGrasse Tyson, Avis Lang
4.0
Overall an interesting history of the interactions between science and various forms of military technology and war. There was definitely a lot of information, and I learned about many new connections between science and the military that I had not known about before, which I definitely appreciated. But at many points I felt like I was reading a listicle about some set of regulations or some set of military acronyms etc. Many of these listed items just felt there for completeness and never mentioned again, which of course meant I forgot about them just as quickly. I think if this book had been 25% shorter, or if these lists had been moved to an appendix, it's main points would have been much stronger.
