Churchill's War Lab

Churchill’s War Lab tells the story of the relationship between Churchill and the Boffins in the Second World War. It tells of how the wartime Prime Minister encouraged and cajoled the code-breakers, the scientists, the soldiers, sailors and airmen, and the innovators whom he called the ‘Wizards’. It shows how he always sought out the mavericks who could help take the country to victory. The book includes the stories of many remarkable men and women from R.V. Jones to Brigadier Hobart, from Professor Blackett to Dr Harry Boot but at its centre is the powerful personality of Winston Churchill and how he ran the war always looking to gain an advantage over the enemy.
