Table of ContentsReviewsUsing technology to reduce the loss of human life has been a cherished dream of the US military since WW I. The development of what became known as precision guided munitions is the subject of Gillespie's exceedingly well-written book. Going beyond work recently done by Kenneth Werrell (Chasing the Silver Bullet, 2003) and David Mets (The Long Search for a Surgical Strike, 2001), Gillespie (USAF Academy) describes in sufficient detail the irregular path these impressive weapons have taken over the past several decades. Highly recommended. - CHOICE A significant addition to the field, for there are not many books specifically devoted to PGMs and still fewer that attempt to relate that technology to military and national security strategy. - David R.

Gillespie is associate professor and Director of Military History at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and coeditor of Forged by Fire: Military History for the Profession of Arms.
