>Henry Spencer recently mentioned the R.V. Jones book "Wizard_War" in a
>discussion. I'd like to mention another book on WWII and technology:
>The_Secret_War, Brian Johnson, 1978 {Britain BBC, U.S. Methuen Inc}
>ISBN 0-458-93340-6

>The book evolved from the BBC series of the same title. 

>I recommend it. Does anyone know if the series was ever shown on U.S.
>TV, or where it is available?
