Secret weapons and World War II : Japan in the shadow of big science
"The atomic bomb. Rocket-propelled bombs. Jet propulsion. Radar.

While previous writers have focused primarily on strategic, military, and intelligence factors, Walter Grunden underscores the dramatic scientific and technological disparities that left Japan vulnerable and ultimately led to its defeat in World War II."
