The untold story of the D-Day scientists who changed special operations forever.

On the beaches of Normandy, two summers before D-Day, the Allies attempted an all but forgotten landing. Of the nearly seven thousand Allied troops sent ashore, only a few hundred survived the terrible massacre, and the reason for the debacle was a lack of reconnaissance. The shore turned out to be impassable to tanks. The Nazis had hidden obstacles in unexpected places. The fortifications were more numerous – and deadly – than imagined. The Allies knew they needed to take the fight to Hitler on the European mainland to end the war, but they could not afford to be unprepared again. A small group of eccentric researchers, experimenting on themselves from inside pressure tanks in the middle of the London air raids, explored the deadly science needed to enable the critical reconnaissance vessels and underwater breathing apparatuses that would enable the Allies' dramatic, history-making success during the next major beach landing: D-Day.©2024 Rachel Lance (P)2024 W.

It's a shame that the author seemed determined to use every adjective in the Oxford English Dictionary in her writing. Almost every sentence suffers from unnecessary additions to its nouns.

It may not be such a failing to a Reader, but the result constantly distracts the Listener from what is an interesting chapter of scientific history.

Distracting Verbosity

An interesting story, told alternately as pacy military history and slightly stodgy pop science writing.

Read by a British person, but clearly written by an American makes idioms a bit jarring ('did the math' for example)
This also leads to mistakes (by both writer and reader) writer gets British geography wrong on a couple of occasions, reader has a mispronunciation and occasional stumbling habit.

Made it to the end, but had higher hopes for this and it just didn't deliver.

Interesting but disjointed

Excellent story of secret wartime research and then its uses in D-Day, full of interesting characters risking life and limb in the name of research. Highly recommended.

Fascinating story of unsung heroes
