The Doodlebug War

A post-ISIS terrorist organization has taken control of much of the Mid East. Now it’s threatening to launch a horrific attack that will bring the United States and Europe to their knees. But How? The CIA turns to cybersecurity super sleuth Frank Adversego to find the answer. In a race against time, Frank must overcome personal as well as cyber trials to save the Western world from destruction. When he does, he discovers an all-too-real vulnerability that may lead to our own downfall – not at some theoretical point in the future, but as soon as tomorrow. In the words of “world’s most famous hacker” Kevin Mitnick: Andrew Updegrove has done it again - delivered an impossible to put down thriller while exposing a dire cyber vulnerability that until now has gone unnoticed.

This book recreates the atmosphere of life as it was when the flying bombs - V1 and V2, or Doodlebug and Rocket - were launched by the Germans in a last-ditch effort to change the tide of World War II. Using photographs and maps from newspapers, museums and libraries, the book is a history of the weapons and includes many letters and anecdotes. The picture is completed by contemporary documents, statistics and colour photographs of some of those who played a leading part.

The first deployment of the V-1 was in June 1944 when, following two years of tests, Hitler gave the order to attack England. Known to the Allies as the "Buzz Bomb" or "Doodlebug", the V-1 was the world's first cruise missile. This book explores the V-1 in detail, from its initial concept, first use in 1944, the various Allied counter-measures, and the later use of the V-1 during the Battle of the Bulge. The major foreign derivatives, including the US copy "JB-2 Loon" and numerous post-war Soviet variants, are also covered.

The story of Britain’s desperate defensive operations against the Nazis’ V1 flying bombs in 1944. In the summer of 1944, the Germans launched more than 10,000 flying bombs at Britain, most of them toward London—which had already endured the Blitz in the earlier phase of the war. Thousands of people were killed, and many more injured. RAF fighter pilots flew round the clock patrols, desperately trying to shoot the robot rockets known as V1s down and stop them from reaching their targets. This history recounts the horrors of these raids and the defenses Britain used against them, both on the ground and in the air—as a weary but determined nation once again battled Nazi terror from above.
