The Man Who Made the Supergun
The assassination a year ago of Dr Gerald Bull prevented Saddam Hussein from acquiring a 'supergun'. It also ended the career of one of the world's most brilliant artillery designers. Before he died, Bull designed the world's best howitzers, many bought by Iraq, but the supergun remained his lifelong ambition. David Taylor chronicles how the Canadian scientist who plundered the lost secrets of Nazi terror weapons became the victim of his own obsession.
