Endless Frontier by G. Pascal Zachary

     About Vannevar Bush, an engineer and scientist who became the czar of American science before, during, and after WWII. His influence was very great. He was perhaps partly responsible for the Allies winning the war. He supervised the development of radar, the proximity fuse, and the A-bomb and H-bomb. He developed analog computing and sketched out future computing, data searching and even opined about AI.
