Most Secret War by William R. Jones
British Scientific Intelligence 1939–1945
A first-hand account of British scientific intelligence in World War II, showing how analysts decoded and countered German technologies—from radio-navigation bombing aids and radar to the V-weapons—through rigorous measurement, field trials, and rapid countermeasures. It recounts the “battle of the beams,” the maturation of radar and electronic warfare, and the fusion of laboratory science with intelligence and operations, while also revealing bureaucratic turf wars that complicated the work. The result is a vivid portrait of how ingenuity and disciplined analysis helped tilt the technological balance of the air war.
