About the book
At least 25 people, mostly computer programmers, died mysteriously in the UK's defence industries in the 1980s. Despite the range of projects, their work essentially concerned different facets of the same problem: electronic warfare. The detailed account of these deaths is one of the most enigmatic and disturbing stories to emerge about the defence of the West since the end of the Second World War.
