Artillery and aerial bombardment in war can be savage and spectacular, but perhaps if does most of its work on the minds rather than the bodies of its targets.

A fascinating book from which much of the material for this video was taken is 'Brains and Bullets: How Psychology Wins Wars ' (also published as 'Wargames') by Leo Murray.
