Kate Epstein is associate professor of history at Rutgers-Camden. She is currently working on her second book, which examines government secrecy, defense contracting, intellectual property, and the political economy of power projection. Her first book, Torpedo: Inventing the Military-Industrial Complex in the United States and Great Britain (Harvard University Press, 2014), examined these issues through the lens of torpedo development before World War I. In 2018-2019, she held an ACLS Frederick Burkhardt Fellowship and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
