I'm current reading "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes.
It's interesting you say that because many scientists they wanted for bomb or nuclear research were sometimes preoccupied with radar. It comes up multiple times in the book.
Is there an equivalent book for the work on radar and all the development that went into semiconductors and transistors for radar during the war?
