What Was He Thinking?
Disturbed by the internecine carnage of America’s deadliest conflict—the still-raging Civil War—an American physician sets out to create a gun that, by its very rapid-fire efficiency, will enable one soldier to do the work of an entire battalion. The need for large armies, he reasons, would be eliminated, thereby diminishing the aggregate death and destruction of this—or any—war.
Problem: Altruistically conceived as a means to curb battle fatalities, his amazing weapon instead spawns burgeoning death tolls in dozens of conflicts worldwide. Listen and learn all about it in this episode.
