Echoes of War

More about the book

Focusing on the development of the Home Sweet Home (H2S) radar systems during World War II, this account offers personal insights into the scientific culture of wartime Britain. It highlights the sacrifices, setbacks, and eventual successes of the team led by Sir Bernard Lovell, who created the radar to identify targets at night or in poor visibility. The H2S system played a crucial role in significant operations, including the attack on Hamburg and the air war against U-boats in the Bay of Biscay.
