A Tiny Bit Disappointing
Supposedly about the scientific intelligence teams that wandered through post-war (just) Germany trying to locate the Reich's scientific secrets...

When I first ordered this book, I assumed that it would be an exciting blend of adventure and science. Ah, no. Rather, the writer spends an inordinate amount of time telling us about himself, Atomic Theory, pre-war Germany, his role in winning the war and so on. As it turns out, he's had a fairly interesting life, so the book isn't a total bust, but I would have liked to have learned more about the grunts in the field and the risks they took.
