This book provides an account of the developments, including timelines, in each of the 13 countries. It is primarily intended for readers with a general interest in the history of technology. It is neither “academic” (there are no footnotes) nor technically detailed (only one equation and no diagrams). However, about 450 individuals are noted, many with brief bios.
In reviewing draft material, the late historian Louis Brown, author of A Radar History of World War II, commented that it was “free of the great radar myths that still fill many accounts: ‘Before Rad Lab there was nothing.’ ‘We invented it in Britain and everyone copied it from us.’ ‘German radar was second rate and the Japanese did not have any.’ “
