Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Avis Lang explore the long relationship between astrophysics and the military. From ancient navigation and the telescope to rockets, satellites and space-based weapons, the authors show how the tools and knowledge of astronomy have served the needs of warfare, and how military funding has advanced science. They examine this alliance across history and consider the ethical questions it raises. The book was published in 2018.
