Description: Normal 0 · Title: Churchill’s War Lab – Code-breakers, Scientists, and the Mavericks Churchill Led to Victory · Author: Taylor Downing · Edition: Hardcover. First Edition · Publisher: Overlook Press (New York) · Copyright: 2010 · Printing: 2011 · Dimensions in inches: 9.25 x 6.4 x 1.4 (397 pages) · ISBN: 978-159020-565-5 As a young boy he re-enacted historic battles with toy soldiers, as a soldier he saw action on three continents, and as Prime Minister only a direct edict from King George VI could keep him from joining the troops on D-Day. Indefatigable patriot, seasoned soldier, incomparable orator and, with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, leader of men -- Winston Churchill's greatness in leading Britain's coalition government to triumphant victory in the Second World War is undisputed. Yet Churchill‘s enduring legacy to the world is attributable at least in equal part to his unshakeable belief in the science of war. Churchill's War Lab reveals how Churchill’s passion for military history, his unique leadership style, and his dedicated support of radical new ideas would lead to new technologies and tactics that would save lives and enable an Allied victory. No war generated more incredible theories, more technical advances, more scientific leaps, and it was Churchill's dogged determination and enthusiasm for revolutionary ideas, espionage, and the science of war that fueled this extraordinary outpouring of British genius. From the development of radar and the decoding brilliance of Bletchley Park to the study of the D-Day beaches and the use of bouncing bombs, Churchill's War Lab is an exciting new take on Churchill as a complex, powerful, and inventive war leader.
