Description

When one thinks of the people who won World War II, names such as Eisenhower, Montgomery, Zhukov and MacArthur may come to mind. But some (perhaps) lesser known names had every bit as much to do with the victory as the great generals, names such as Oppenheimer, Fermi, Turing and Donovan. World War II was a war of great innovation, in technology and medicine, as well as intelligence and military tactics. We'll examine nine such innovations in this book. Each one is still affecting us today, including nuclear power, jet planes, computers, rockets, penicillin and radar. The book contains 45+ illustrations.
