Description: Originally published in 1978, this reprint edition is part of the Time-Life World War II Classics series, The Secret War. Includes several black and white illustrations. ''In the heroic home front campaign that Winston Churchill dubbed the 'Wizard War', British Scientific Intelligence during World War II brilliantly anticipated, detected, and countered new German uses of science in warfare. It was a high-stakes game of deception, discovery, and brainwork. Reginald V Jones, who headed British Scientific Intelligence from its inception in 1939 to 1946, was the man most responsible for that agency's life-saving successes. In this position Jones almost singlehandedly invented the principles of scientific espionage. This is an engrossing chronicle of teamwork among spies, solders, and scientists.''
