What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Sam kean's use of little-known episodes and insights is sometimes delightful. The upshot is that kean’s style cheapens this otherwise revealing and enjoyable book.
The * brigade is an exciting book loaded with spies, espionage, and daring missions. It also contains many comical and lighthearted moments.
Jack kennedy jr. And moe berg were part of the oss. Pash and berg were known for their interrogation techniques. Frédéric joliot-curie was the son-in-law of marie curie. Heisenberg was the father of the heisenberg theory.
Allied commando missions in the norway and denmark were among the most successful.
Cons
Sam kean's book here is a bit of a hybrid in that it does present some new information, but its downfall is that it also repeats facts. There is far more pointless biographical dump that has no relevance to the actual topic.
