It covers it from a fairly technical standpoint but the study in sociology is from the point of view on if the technology drove nuclear strategy or nuclear strategy drove the technology, which is an interesting perspective to look at it from.
Also, it was relevant, it was first published in 1990 when the Cold War was still going on.
As far as in depth descriptions of guidance systems though it is considered the best you can get with out security clearance, so I picked it up not really for the sociological views, but from what I could glean from it about the tech. Was recommended to me by a missileer. |
Sociology is the study of society, not some minute aspect of technology and how it affects nuclear strategy. Not that I doubt how interesting it is, I just like being anal (as sushi will tell you)
