Samenvatting:

THE ENEMY IS INVISIBLE — AND YOU’VE BEEN BLIND.
You’re surrounded by threats you can’t see. Storms that form out of nothing. Aircraft that vanish from screens. Dangers moving through darkness, cloud, fog, and silence. For most of human history, we were powerless—trapped by the limits of our own eyes.
Then, in 1939, everything changed.
This is the gripping, pulse-pounding story of how scientists shattered biology itself and taught humanity to see with radio—a breakthrough that reshaped World War II and now governs every flight path, every storm warning, and every corner of the modern world.
Inside, you’ll uncover:
• The Chain Home Miracle — how a crude network of steel towers gave Britain the minutes needed to win the Battle of Britain.
• The Million-Dollar Echo — the cavity magnetron, the tiny device that put battlefield-level vision into the belly of Allied aircraft.
• The Birth of Electronic Deception — the mind-bending duel of jamming, chaff, and radar trickery that blinded enemy forces.
• Beyond the Battlefield — how radar evolved into the system that guides planes, tracks hurricanes, controls borders, and maps distant planets.
This isn’t a dry technical history. It’s the secret war of invisible waves, fought by engineers who changed the course of civilization.
