‘Innovation for Failure - Some Reflections on the Work of the NRDC Relevant to the Early History of the Computer Industry in the UK’

The RT Hon. The Earl of Halsbury

Some years ago Dr Hendry sent me the manuscript of his book 'Innovation for Failure' as a matter of courtesy, since I appear in it so often. I read it, thought it excellent and corresponded with him about it. We met and exchanged views. Now the final version has been published and I have been asked to write an essay review on it. An essay review is a rather hybrid term. As essay comments on the content of a book assuming the reader is familiar with it. A review should enable one who has not read it to decide whether to acquire it with a view to doing so.
