{"product_id":"the-e-bomb-jdoug-beason-9780306814020","title":"The E-Bomb","description":"\u003cp\u003eA timely book that explains the next revolution in military weapons - directed-energy weapons - and how tomorrow's wars will be fought. In science fiction, futuristic soldiers are often shown wielding light emitting weapons - Flash Gordon used a ray gun, Captain Kirk carried a phaser, and Darth Vader brandished a light saber. But, today, the imagined future of science fiction is soon to be a reality. After more than two decades of research, the United States is on the verge of deploying a new generation of weapons that discharge light-wave energy, the same spectrum of energy found in your microwave, or in your TV remote control. They're called \"directed-energy weapons\" - lasers, high-powered microwaves and particle beams - and they signal a revolution in weaponry, perhaps, more profound than the atomic bomb. The first directed-energy (DE) weapons are being tested right now, and their deployment is planned in the very near future. In \"The E-Bomb\", author J Douglas Beason, a leading US expert in directed-energy research, will explain in clear and non-technical prose, these exotic new weapons, and answers the questions that we'll all want answered: What is Directed Energy?\n\u003cbr\u003eHow do DE weapons work? What can these DE weapons do? And are these weapons safe to use? As the once-imagined weapons of the future begin to appear on today's battlefield's, \"The E-Bomb\" will help explain how and why the future is now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.Doug Beason","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":46144441778419,"sku":"8880002458427","price":21.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780306814020.jpg?v=1725012742","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-e-bomb-jdoug-beason-9780306814020","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
