Weapons Systems and Political Stability Hardcover by Carroll Quigley
Throughout history, society’s decisions regarding its weapons systems have been decisive in shaping human social, economic, and political decisions. In Quigley’s social analysis the dominance of democracy in the 20th century is attributable to the acceptance in the 19th century of a weapons system that favored democracy, the hand gun and rifle.
