Rushed Into The Fight

Watch as the progress of the weapons of war changed the battlefield from the middle ages to the American Civil War, through all the wars of the 20th century and into today's War on Terror and the modern battlefield. The English long bow to the rifling of cannon to the tank, jet aircraft, self-propelled guns, radar, submarines, helicopters and cruise missiles have all changed the nature of war and each are a part of this series that shows how the concept of bringing more fire power to the battle evolved.
