The Mare's Nest — Audiobook

Secret weapons, intelligence and the race against time

Germany's V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket programmes threatened to change the course of the Second World War. In The Mare's Nest, David Irving reconstructs the struggle between German scientists and engineers, British intelligence analysts, and the political leaders deciding how to answer a weapon they could not yet see.

Drawing on British and German documents, private papers and first-hand testimony, the book follows the discovery of Peenemünde, the debate inside Whitehall, Operation Hydra and the intelligence campaign against the V-weapons.

This complete, unabridged audiobook has been produced from the current Irving Books text as a carefully paced long-form listening edition.
