Hopefully someone else can find the ISBN and publisher's for this, but I read
a bokk about this exact topic called roughly "Evolution of Warfare and
Weapons" by either William Dupuy or Trevor Dupuy (I think William). I don't
have a copy myself (was a library book), but it was probably published late
70's or very early 80's. It was very good in it's discussion of how
technological developments preceded tactical use of the new weapons (fighting
the war with last war's tactics but this war's weapons). Sorry I couldn't give
you more detailed information.
