This was a slow read for me. The book's essential premise — that science/astrophysics and the military work closely together and even enable one another — is hardly groundbreaking, but it was certainly eye-opening to see specific examples of just how closely connected these two disciplines are. The book included a lot more far-off history than I thought, going all the way back to the very beginning of the human race and proceeding from there. The acronyms and jargon could definitely be a bit much, and sometimes it read more like a list than a book. This is probably not a book that a casual nonfiction reader would enjoy; I had a hard time getting through it and frequently had to take breaks. I think that a sharp edit to pare down the info and reorganize it more logically would have made this a lot more enjoyable and accessible.
