Waller. Lest Australian War Myths by John H. Waller is a thought-provoking book that challenges the reader to reconsider their understanding of Australia's military history. The author argues that many of the myths and legends surrounding Australia's wars are not supported by the historical evidence and that a more nuanced approach to understanding these conflicts is necessary. He examines the role of technology in shaping the course of warfare and how it has influenced our perceptions of what is possible and desirable. Through a series of case studies, Waller demonstrates how the development of new weapons and tactics has often been driven by the needs of the military rather than by any particular ideology or political agenda. The book begins with an overview of the evolution of technology in warfare, from ancient times to the present day. Waller argues that this process has been driven by the need for survival and the desire to gain an advantage over one's enemies. He contends that this drive for technological advancement has often led to unintended consequences, such as the development of weapons of mass destruction and the dehumanization of the enemy. One of the key themes of the book is the idea that technology has played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of war and its place in society.
Уоллер. «st Australian War Myths» Джона Уоллера (John H. Waller) - книга, заставляющая читателя задуматься над своим пониманием военной истории Австралии. Автор утверждает, что многие мифы и легенды, окружающие войны Австралии, не подтверждаются историческими свидетельствами и что необходим более детальный подход к пониманию этих конфликтов. Он исследует роль технологий в формировании хода военных действий и то, как они повлияли на наше восприятие того, что возможно и желательно. С помощью серии тематических исследований Уоллер демонстрирует, как разработка нового оружия и тактики часто определялась потребностями военных, а не какой-либо конкретной идеологией или политической повесткой дня. Книга начинается с обзора эволюции технологий в войне, начиная с древних времен и до наших дней. Уоллер утверждает, что этот процесс был обусловлен необходимостью выживания и желанием получить преимущество над своими врагами. Он утверждает, что это стремление к технологическому прогрессу часто приводило к непреднамеренным последствиям, таким как разработка оружия массового уничтожения и дегуманизация противника. Одна из ключевых тем книги - идея о том, что технологии сыграли важнейшую роль в формировании нашего понимания войны и ее места в обществе.
