What Dewey number fits?

In an article entitled Here's looking at you - should we worry about the rise of the drone? in the 14 May 2012 issue of the New Yorker, Peter W. Singer, "a fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of Wired for War, a book about military robotics, is quoted.

His book is in various libraries, but not my two. However, I found the record in the Nassau OPAC rather curious. Of the 15 libraries that do have it, all but two have classified it as military and nautical engineering, 623 in the Dewey Decimal System (623.04 S). Two others have classified it military science (355.0201 S).

350 is Public Administration
620 is Engineering & Applied operations
