Summary:
"In this original book, historian and philosopher Reviel Netz
explores the development of a controlling and pain-inducing
technology - barbed wire. Surveying its development from 1874 to
1954, Netz describes its use to control cattle during the
colonization of the American West and to control people in Nazi
concentration camps and the Russian Gulag. Physical control over
space was no longer symbolic after 1874."--BOOK JACKET.
