an interesting story about how the British went about shutting down the v-2 bombing of London near the end of world war II. the interplay between the dutch resistance, the dutch Nazi sympathizers and the germans; the germans between themselves and between the dutch citizens in the little town that they occupied; and the jolly good old stiff upper lip brits.  full of twist and turns among the good guys and the bad guys makes for an intriguing tale and an ending which is poignant if not altogether satisfying.  this book is scary when one considers that the v-2 was the predecessor to today's drone though not nearly as sophisticated in terms of its ability to actually hit the targets they were aiming at.  we've come a long way baby....or have we?
