Engineers of Victory

Most histories highlight generals and politicians, but this book shines a light on the problem solvers behind the scenes. I wonder what led the author to emphasize engineering ingenuity in this context.

Their innovative solutions often came under immense pressure and risk. It made me think about the importance of ingenuity in moments of crisis — anyone else inspired by their resourcefulness?

Given the detailed descriptions, I'm curious whether the author relied on primary sources or if some of these engineering marvels are reconstructed from secondary accounts.
