DEEP STRIKE:
Bunker-Busting Bombs from World War II to the Modern Era

From the depths of Nazi U-boat pens to China's hypersonic arsenal -- the explosive story of warfare's most relentless arms race.

No military challenge has driven innovation like the eternal contest between those who build underground and those determined to destroy them. In this gripping chronicle of eight decades of technological warfare, military historian John Harrison reveals how the quest to defeat buried fortifications has produced some of history's most revolutionary weapons.

When British engineer Barnes Wallis created his revolutionary "earthquake bombs" to destroy Hitler's impenetrable concrete bunkers, he launched a scientific revolution that continues today. From the 22,000-pound Grand Slam that sank the "unsinkable" Tirpitz to Vietnam's tunnel rats fighting in absolute darkness against 200-kilometer underground cities, each breakthrough has sparked new countermeasures in an endless cycle of military evolution.

**Discover the untold stories behind:**
- The 28-day crash program that created the Gulf War's first precision bunker-buster
- How Osama bin Laden's mountain sanctuaries survived America's most advanced weapons
- The historic 2017 MOAB strike that forever changed conventional warfare
- China's DF-17 and Russia's Kinzhal hypersonic weapons that can penetrate any defense

Drawing on declassified documents, firsthand accounts, and cutting-edge technical analysis, *DEEP STRIKE* exposes the hidden technological battles that have shaped modern warfare. From desperate wartime innovation to today's hypersonic revolution, this is the definitive account of humanity's most destructive and ingenious military technologies.
