Description

"Imaginary Weapons describes the rise of 'fringe science' in the Pentagon. It focuses on how the Pentagon sank millions of dollars into an exotic weapon - the "hafnium bomb"- that would rival the power of a nuclear weapon… Imaginary Weapons has three major findings: Pentagon officials systematically ignore scientific advice that contradicts their beliefs; the military is easily seduced by the promise of exotic new weapons unconstrained by arms control treaties; and declining technical expertise has made national security institutions vulnerable to outlandish claims and bogus science."
