V2, Harris - B

                   This very successful writer of historical fiction has written mostly about WW2 and Ancient Rome. Here, he focuses on the Revenge rockets on which Germany wasted a massive fortune  in order to terrorize the UK, particularly London. There are two stories. One is about a German civilian who has worked with von Braun since the beginning, is the flight officer, and in the waning days of the Reich, struggles with the tightening  SS security apparatus. The British side of the story is based on the memoirs of a woman who was part of the team tasked with figuring out where the rockets were fired from. Armed with radar information about the arc of the lift-off and the location of the hit in London, they were able to calculate the parabolic arc and figure out where they were launched from. Fun read.
