The War of Invention: Scientific Developments, 1914-18

Potomac Books Inc.

This fascinating account of how science was used by both the victors and the vanquished in the Second World War makes use of newly available material from the Public Record Office. The book provides an overall view of how the latest advances in science were fully exploited in the war, including radar, sonar, improved radio, methods of reducing disease, primitive computers, the new science of operational research, and finally, the atomic bomb, necessarily developed like all wartime technology in a remarkably short time. This progress would have been impossible without the cooperation of Allied scientists with the military, and the Axis powers' failure to recognize this was a major factor in their defeat.

The challenge of war: Britain's scientific and engineering contributions to World War Two

Taplinger Pub. Co

Allied leaders and military planners realized early in preparations for the invasion of NW Europe that the massive forces required to defeat Hitler’s armies needed constant re-supply of men, equipment, ammunition, fuel and other materials.  These would have to come in by sea but it was known that the Germans would not only defend the few major ports but destroy them before withdrawing.The drastic answer was to build two artificial harbors.  This extraordinary venture involved the most ingenious engineering and staggering amounts of construction.  All this was achieved in a short space of time.  Under conditions of great secrecy, codenamed MULBERRY, two sites in Scotland were established.The book describes not just the methods used but the men who made this miracle possible.   How these massive structures fared and the contribution they made is told in this fascinating book.
