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.
