The author, a distinguished entomologist, draws from his immense knowledge of insect life and the varied roles insects play in military history to present a broad perspective on the subject. An exploration of how insects, from a nuisance to a lethal threat, have shaped the course of war across centuries, the book delves into the challenges posed by pests and disease, as well as the potential of insects as instruments of war.
