Here are the extraordinary tales behind the ingenious weapons and technological wizardry that determined the outcome of the war. From radar, huff-duff (high frequency direction finding), invisible radio beams, and "Perfectos" to secret codes, electronic guidance systems, homing devices, and submarine detection equipment, Breuer deftly exposes the gargantuan efforts employed by both adversaries and the fascinating details of the high-stakes warfare waged behind the well-known scenes of combat.
Re-creating the covert missions, plots, hoaxes, spying, conspiracies, and electronic sleuthing, Breuer goes beyond the famous military leaders and statesmen to give an entirely fresh and startling perspective of the Second World War. He deftly uncovers all the spectacular feats of those who determined the outcome of the climactic struggle of the twentieth century–the brilliant codebreakers, scientists, and mathematicians–to provide an unprecedented look at the least-known operations and plots conducted by both sides. In Secret Weapons of World War II, you will:
Packed with more than seventy riveting tales, Secret Weapons of World War II displays Breuer’s signature blend of dynamic storytelling and meticulous detail. Vivid, fast-paced, and suspenseful, this engrossing volume captures the human drama of the men and women–many as eccentric as they were brilliant–who raced to beat the enemy to the discoveries that turned the tide of war.
