Review : Special relationship

23 November 1996

To find out how a second-rate scientist like Henry Tizard (his own
assessment) forged the technical links between Britain and America which
transformed American science and shortened the Second World War, see David
Zimmerman’s Top Secret Exchange (Alan Sutton, £18.99, ISBN 0 750 91242 1).
A tale of politics and science that lifts the veil on an almost forgotten
mission that shaped the world we live in.
