Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War By Mary Roach
“For every general and Medal of Honor winner, there are a hundred military scientists whose names you’ll never hear,” writes veteran science journalist Roach. These are the brave men and women toiling to make tastier rations and more hygienic field latrines, among other unsung but much-needed achievements. With her usual dry wit and relentless curiosity, Roach investigates the novel ways some very passionate people try to make war a little less hellish.
