I’d highly recommend Most Secret War which covers the role of Scientific Intelligence in Britain’s battle with Germany during WWII.

Dr. R.V. Jones had significant involvement in the War of the Beams, and after the war wrote a book about British Scientific Intelligence efforts during the war.

Here's an US Amazon.com entry: http://www.amazon.com/Most-Secret-Penguin-World-Collection/d... Based on a review comment and the page count it looks like it's a version of The Wizard War I cited in another posting in this topic.

Lots of inexpensive used paperback editions available.
