"Tuxedo Park" by Jennet Conant.

The book is the biography of Alfred Lee Loomis, a tycoon that played an important role in World War II and somehow did not received the deserved acknowledgement.

It is an interesting book for a technical audience, mainly for electronics engineers and physicist, because the main character was involved in lots of breakthroughs during his lifetime.
