Innovations of War: Evolution of Tactical Military (DVD), Mill Creek, Documentary

Amateurs study strategy. Professionals study logistics. To fight and win, a military organization needs to get the right weapon systems to the right place at the right time. Failing to do so may cost a life, a battle, even a war. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th Century changed the concept of war and the weapons that could be created for it. Heavy machinery, mass production, and engineering advances allowed for innovative armaments that altered the outcome of battles from the American Civil War to the conflict in Vietnam. INNOVATIONS OF WAR is filled with expert interviews, archival footage and live action reenactments to chronicle the development and deployment of 12 game-changing weapons that provided tactical advantages to militaries around the world.
