I thought it was a great read.
There is a CSPAN author interview on youtube. Not much about time-nuttery but
lots of stories about the people involved. Her grandfather was president of
Harvard during WW II and he was tangled up with much of the wartime research.

57 minutes.

Not particularly time-nutty, but if you liked Tuxedo Park, there is a good
chance you will enjoy this book too:
The Invention that Changed the World
How a small group of RADAR pioneers won the second world war and launched a
technological revolution
Robert Buderi
He is one of the writers contributing comments to the PBS/American Experience
story about Loomis.
