- Synopsis
- "The Invention That Changed the World by Robert Buderi is a dazzling study, combining hard science with the daily drama of warring nations struggling to avoid disaster.... He has woven together a remarkable tale of science, politics, and warfare." - Guy Halversoim, The Christian Science Monitor "Masterly. . . Buderi cannot be praised too highly for producing a scholarly and superbly researched book which is also enjoyable to read." - Ian Morison, New Scientist "Buderi's Book can awaken the interest of even the most jaded and nontechnical reader. Radar did change the world, and Buderi nicely describes how."- Norman N. Brown, The Associated Press "Much of our view of the technological achievements emerging from World War II is driven by nuclear fetishism, but a more fundamental truth is revealed in the subtitle to this remarkable book. . . . Through extensive interviews and impressive bibliographies, the author has produced a fascinating history." - Library Journal
