Publication day is finally here! And while I’m massively excited that my first book is out, I also hope it raises awareness about the long history (& shortfalls) of precision weapons & the story behind how drones have come to dominate modern warfare: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526125880/

We think of precision warfare as a modern invention, closely associated with the Gulf War, the Kosovo Campaign and drone technologies. But its origins go back much further in history.

As historian James Patton Rogers reveals, this quest to achieve precision in war began in 1917, during the early years of powered flight in the United States. This means that precision has been a significant, if not always achievable, feature of American strategic thought for more than a hundred years.

Patton Rogers takes readers on a journey through the twentieth century, highlighting the innovative thinkers of the First World War, the experimental technologies of the Second World War and the surprising Cold War nuclear strategies that made precision the dominant feature it is today.
