Science at War

J.G. Crowther and R. Whiddington
0/5 ( ratings)

From the foreward:
"During the war [WW2] our [Allied/British] scientists had for obvious reasons to do much of their work under the veil of secrecy. As a result, many of their achievements are either unknown as yet to the public, or known only through partial and inaccurate descriptions which, if they are not corrected quickly, may harden traditions which will hand on to the future a misleading account of what happened... Our object was to make available to the public an authoritative account of some of the more important aspects of the scientific contribution to the war effort, based on the official archives, but so written as to be acceptable to the reader without special scientific education."

Sections of the book include: Radar, Operational Research, The Atomic Bomb, Science and the Sea.
