From Stones to Nukes

This volume offers a sophisticated exploration of the history of weapons and warfare in Europe and the Atlantic world, aimed at stimulating and inspiring those with an interest in this domain. It invites readers to revisit the foundational principles that underpinned the development of contem¬porary armaments and military practices until shortly before the turn of the millennium.

In an era where global challenges have become inescapable, this book emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with our shared origins and understanding our unique paths. As our world undergoes rapid changes in politics, society, economics, and technology, this exploration of history sheds light on the dynamics of change, both in times of peace and war.
