Reginald Jones was nothing less than a genius. And his appointment to the Intelligence Section of Britain's Air Ministry in 1939 led to some of the most astonishing scientific and technological breakthroughs of the Second World War. In Most Secret War he details how Britain stealthily stole the war from under the Germans' noses by outsmarting their intelligence at every turn. He tells of the 'battle of the beams'; detecting and defeating flying bombs; using chaff to confuse radar; and many other ingenious ideas and devices. Jones was the man with the plan to save Britain and his story makes for riveting reading.

A very good yarn. It delves deeply into intelligence gathering and usage by the Allies in WWII.



If you are looking for a book that stitches together all the disparate bits and pieces of the Enigma machine, radar, the air war, nuclear research, spies, resistance etc in the war on both sides, look no further.



It is not an easy read but will repay your attention.
