Modern Arms and Free Men argues that science and military preparedness, far from being threats to liberty, are in fact its most essential guardians against totalitarian aggression. Written with the authority of a man who helped shape the Allied scientific effort in World War II, the text details the strategic realities of modern warfare while cautioning against both complacency and hysteria in the face of nuclear weapons. Bush illustrates how a free society, grounded in open scientific inquiry and civilian oversight of military technology, holds a decisive advantage over authoritarian regimes that suppress intellectual freedom. The tone is measured, rational, and deeply patriotic — a serious and enduring contribution to the discourse on science, democracy, and national security.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839330267355,"sku":"2026770001873-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5693b3b7-b2ea-4db0-8136-105299be3584.png?v=1780560675","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001873-secondhand-modern-arms-and-free-men-a-discussion-of-the-role-of-science-in-preserving-democracy","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
