Just finished "Chip War" by Chris Miller.
Good history of semiconductor development from its inception shortly after WW2 thru last year (written in 2022).
Has a good coverage of the development and state of modern weapons of war.
If you are only interested in why China is the enemy (of all free countries) start reading at chapter 42. Or, for what they are doing today (worldwide), start at chapter 50.
We should be especially worried about our high-end gear as more & more (especially British companies) move their production to China. Very sad.
