Though he is little remembered today, Blackett did as much as anyone to defeat Nazi Germany, by revolutionizing the Allied anti-submarine effort through the disciplined, systematic implementation of simple mathematics and probability theory. This is the story of how British and American civilian intellectuals helped change the nature of twentieth-century warfare, by convincing disbelieving military brass to trust the new field of operational research.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45544175435995,"sku":"9780307743633-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9780307743633-us-300.jpg?v=1715656453","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780307743633-secondhand-blacketts-war-the-men-who-defeated-the-nazi-u-boats-and-brought-science-to-the-art-of-warfare-warfare","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
