The rapid evolution of radio and radar systems for military use
during World War II, and devices to counter them, led to a
technological battle that neither the Axis nor the Allied powers
could afford to lose. The result was a continual series of thrusts,
parries, and counter-thrusts, as first one side then the other
sought to wrest the initiative in the struggle to control the
ether. This was a battle fought with strange-sounding
weapons-"Freya," "Mandrel," "Boozer," and "Window"-and
characterized by the bravery, self-sacrifice, and skill of those
who took part in it. During the war, however, and for many years
after, electronic-warfare systems and their employment during the
conflict remained closely guarded military secrets. When that veil
of secrecy was finally lifted, the technicalities of the subject
helped ensure that it remained beyond the reach of many lay
researchers and readers.Long regarded as a standard reference work,
Instruments of Darkness has been expanded and completely revised.
