The story of the optical munitions industry embraces not only entrepreneurship and invention, but also aspects of military technology and international politics. Running counter to the general decline of technological industries in post-Victorian Britain, optical munitions provides an important, previously overlooked, study into the business of manufacturing.
"'Historians of technology, business and war will all find interesting lessons in this book ... [a] meticulously researched and well-written account of Britain's optical munitions industry.'"
