The constantly evolving role of technology in war

In this final short conversation with Jack McDonald, author of 'What is War for?', we turn to the part played by technology in war. There’s long been a technological aspect to war, not just in the development of ever more deadly weapons, but also in the way civilian technology, such as railway networks and the telegraph, have shaped the conduct of war. Today, in the era of drones and smartphones, war continues to evolve, posing new ethical questions on the battlefield and beyond.Find out more about the book: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/what-is-war-for Intro music: Cold by yoitrax | @yoitrax Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Hosted on Acast.
