This may be the single best audiobook I've listened to, and one of the best (true) stories I've ever heard. I can't recommend it enough.

The author claims credit for discovering a translation of Ufimtsev's physical theory of diffraction as the spark that started LM's stealth research in 1971. In the same year Ufimtsev published his theory in Russian (9 years prior to its translation into English in 1962) an American--Joseph Keller, whom my PhD advisor studied under--published an alternative theory which is recognized as the original practical means of predicting edge diffraction so far as English-speaking electromagnetic experts could have been aware.

To the author's credit, Keller's theory had a widely recognized flaw which Ufimtsev's did not. This flaw was not corrected until 1974 by Kouyoumjian and Pathak. This flaw would not have been especially apparent to a monostatic radar and would have allowed a decade head start had Keller's paper been identified.

Overall, I'd say this book is not for a geek with extensive knowledge of aerospace technology. It is written by a minimally technical manager-type who gets a lot just a little bit wrong. Not so much that I would not recommend the book if you're either non technical or wrong to overlook some of these minute details.
