This book addresses the morality of engaging in weapons research, a topic that has been neglected but which is extremely important. What is wrong with weapons research is that it is the first step in the production of weapons, weapons are the means to harm, and harming without justification is always wrong.

With examples ranging from ancient arms to modern innovations such as pilotless drones, this study of the neglected topic of weapons research deploys applied ethics and moral philosophy to argue that its injurious intent renders it morally unjustifiable.
