Death by Moderation: The U.S. Military’s Quest for Useable Weapons

This book addresses an important but little-noticed phenomenon in the revolutionary world of military technology: the pursuit of arms that are deliberately crafted to be less powerful, less deadly, and less destructive than previous systems. By providing a capacity to intervene deftly yet effectively, ’usable’ weaponry will allow the military to accomplish its missions under legal obligations, in accordance to public relations realities, and under political constraints.
