The book. Winning The Radar War: A Memoir By Jack Nissen represents a first-hand account of the scientific race to develop and deploy advanced radar equipment during World War II.  “Winning The Radar War: A Memoir by Jack Nissen” tells the fascinating and true story of the experiments, the inventive breakthroughs, the electronic eavesdropping and strokes of good fortune that allowed the Allies to prevail in the development of advanced radar and effective counter measures.  Known as an export in electronics, the author, Jack Nissen, was recruited by the British Air Ministry in 1937 to work on advanced radar technology, which allowed the Allies to more effectively guide aircraft to incoming hostile German aircraft.  Later in the war, Jack Nissen, volunteered in 1942 for a dangerous commando mission to obtain German radar equipment at Dieppe France so the British could figure out how to jam it in preparation for the D-Day invasion.  In the end, Nissen was one of only two survivors of this daring mission.  The equipment and information recovered from the German radar installation at Dieppe allowed the Allies to develop jamming techniques that allowed the D-Day armada of 7,000 plus ships to remain electronically undetected by a well equipped, prepared and determined enemy.  The major sections of “Winning The Radar War: A Memoir By Jack Nissen” are as follows: 1) Maps; 2) Introduction; 3) Chapter One – Recruit To Secrecy; 4) Chapter Two – Pre-War British Radar; 5) Chapter Three – Pre-War German Radar; 6) Chapter Four – The Outbreak Of War; 7) Chapter Five – A Scottish Testing-Ground; 8) Chapter Six – Deception And Interception; 9) Chapter Seven – Radar And The Battle Of Britain; 10) Chapter Eight – The Tizard Mission To Ottawa And Washington; 11) Chapter Nine – Ghost Station; 12) Chapter Ten – Night Attacks; 13) Chapter Eleven – Navigational Radar – The Tide Turns; 14) Chapter Twelve – “Jubilee”; 15) Chapter Thirteen – Freya; 16) Chapter Fourteen – Dieppe Post-Mortem – The Tide Turns; 17) Chapter Fifteen – D-Day; 18) Afterword and 19) Index.  In addition to an informative narrative, “Winning The Radar War: A Memoir by Jack Nissen” has the following features: 1) Approximately 12 black and white photographs and 2) 2 maps.  This book is 224 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author is Jack Nissen with A.W.
