Science has long been a component of warfare, and in this weekâs episode we look at how it has played a part in both destruction and preservation during times of war. Villanova University history professor Jeffrey Johnson spoke to us about dual use technology and how products and processes can be used by the military and in civilian life. Finally, Audra Wolfe reviews Drew Gilpin Faustâs new book, This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War. Element of the Week: Chlorine.
