Arms and the State is a history of Britain's first modern armaments company, Sir William G. Armstrong Whitworth Company, from 1854 to 1914. The study focuses on Sir William G. Armstrong, an engineer and entrepreneur who transformed his mechanical engineering business into a vast industrial enterprise which manufactured and sold heavy guns and warships globally. Bastable discusses such varied topics as the social and political nature of technological innovation; the impact of armaments on British politics; defence policies; the international arms trade; and imperialism.

It focuses on the role of Sir William G. Armstrong, an engineer and entrepreneur who transformed his modest mechanical engineering business into a vast industrial enterprise which invented, developed, manufactured and sold heavy guns and warships throughout the world. Arms and the State reconstructs the global arms trade as it follows Armstrong's companies selling the latest weapons to both sides in the American Civil War, Egypt, Turkey and Italy in the 1860s, to China, Chile and Japan in the 1870s and 1880s, and became Britain's leading armaments company in the age of the naval arms races that preceded the First World War. In so doing, it discusses varied topics such as the social and political nature of technological innovation, the quality of Britain's late-Victorian entrepreneurs, and the impact of armaments on British politics, defence policies, the international arms trade and imperialism."
