The Wall Street Tycoon Who Secretly Won WWII with Science
Alfred Lee Loomis was a Wall Street titan who predicted the 1929 crash, cashed out with $50 million, and retreated to a private fortress in Tuxedo Park. There, he built a secret lab where he funded and co-created breakthroughs in radar, ultrasonics, EEG, and the atomic bomb—all before the U.S. government even knew what hit them. This is the untold story of how one man's obsession with science, control, and secrecy changed the course of history, from the Battle of the Atlantic to the Manhattan Project. Based on Jennet Conant's book 'Tuxedo Park'.
