Book Description

New York Times Bestseller An exploration of the age-old complicity between skywatchers and warfighters, from the bestselling

author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. In this fascinating foray into the centuries-old relationship between

science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and writer-researcher Avis Lang examine how

the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. "The overlap is strong, and the knowledge

flows in both directions," say the authors, because astrophysicists and military planners care about many of the same

things: multi-spectral detection, ranging, tracking, imaging, high ground, nuclear fusion, and access to space. Tyson and

Lang call it a "curiously complicit" alliance. "The universe is both the ultimate frontier and the highest of high grounds,"

they write. "Shared by both space scientists and space warriors, it’s a laboratory for one and a battlefield for the other. The

explorer wants to understand it; the soldier wants to dominate it. But without the right technology―which is more or less

the same technology for both parties―nobody can get to it, operate in it, scrutinize it, dominate it, or use it to their

advantage and someone else’s disadvantage." Spanning early celestial navigation to satellite-enabled warfare, Accessory

to War is a richly researched and provocative examination of the intersection of science, technology, industry, and power

that will introduce Tyson’s millions of fans to yet another dimension of how the universe has shaped our lives and our

world.
