The German V-2 rockets that hit London in 1944 arrived silently, having
covered 200 miles in five minutes. The Rocket and the Reich by Michael Neufeld
(Harvard University Press, £9.95/$15.95, ISBN 0 674 77650 X) is the
astonishing story of their development and how the Allies tried to kill the
development teams and destroy the factories. It is a dispassionate account, but
one that builds excitement and tension in the reader.
