New book "Bright Boys: 1938-1958" by Tom Green sheds new light on origins and pioneers of modern Information Technology. Free chapter and book offer now available.

"Bright Boys" is a richly embroidered tapestry of people, politics and technology all thrown together into a marvelous era when the digital future of a brand new world was first being assembled. Called "Superb!" by reviewers for its unique "attention to detail," "Bright Boys" chronicles how modern digital computing arose from the military's quest for real-time command & control and the 1950's air defense of North America.

(PRWEB) September 25, 2004 -- The bright boys were early pioneers (1938-1958) in digital computing. Some say that they started it all. The "Bright Boys" monograph is the story of a 20-year quest that began with the pursuit of air command & control and ended with the discovery of modern Information Technology. It's a classic study of how "real-time" got into Real-time Command & Control, and how 1950's-style air defense evolved into the today's Information Technology...as well as the offensive "smarts" at the heart of today's "Shock & Awe" air power.
