A hilarious book and certain to amuse even those whose interest in weapons of war is minimal' THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT A small piece of secret history' THE YORKSHIRE POST About the Author Colonel Stuart Macrae was an engineering boffin who was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time at the start of the Second World War. As the editor of the magazine Armchair Science, he was phoned up by the War Dept and asked to join its ranks as a developer of weapons. This he took to with enthusiasm, helping develop such weapons as the Limpet mines used successfully by the X-men and Charioteers to sink many German ships, as well as fuses and other weapons of war. It was his organisational skills which helped MIR grow to become a major weapons producer for all sectors of the Armed Forces.

Perfect Title
If you chuckled at TVs Yes, Prime Minister you'll love this. Humphrey & Co weren't caricatures at all - they lived in this splendid account! The author is delightfully incorrigible. I enjoyed the whole content immensely, but such a struggle to peer at the small, dense print with narrow centre margins of the Paperback. It appears the age group who were most likely choose this book were not considered - counter productive on the part of the publishers I would suggest. A little disappointed that the typos in the Original had not been corrected in the 2012 reprint. However I appreciated the content so much that I immediately located and ordered a 1971 Hardcover with standard print broad margins and have already set about re-reading it! It was in excellent condition and will be kept on shelf for a long while to come I'm sure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Testes your eyes!
Enjoying the paperback version, but in stages, the print is quite small and tiring on my 76 year old eyes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
