Product Description

Review

"Deeply informed and insightful, Zachary has thoroughly captured the spirit of Bush and his times." -- Thomas P. Hughes, "The New York Times Book Review"


Product Description

Tracing the life and work of Vannevar Bush, this biography reveals that although Bush helped to give rise to the military-industrial complex, he was also a sceptical observer of the interplay between science and politics, and warned against the dangers of the arms race.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent biography of an important but little known man., 6 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Endless Frontier (Hardcover)
A very interesting and thorough biography of Vannevar Bush, who more than any other individual is responsible (for good or for ill) for the shape of today's scientific establishment. Well-written and engaging, with lots of interesting historical tidbits and good insight on the personalities involved. Excellent!
