Seeing the Unseen: How WWII Strategists Invented Modern Data Visualization

By S.J. Bletchley

Before dashboards and data-driven strategy were commonplace, WWII strategists were inventing them from scratch.
Seeing the Unseen explores how wartime analysts used hand-drawn graphs, probability charts, and visual planning tools to drive real-time decisions under pressure-laying the groundwork for modern data visualization.
With clarity and insight, S.J. Bletchley connects these wartime innovations to the tools data professionals use today-from heat maps to network graphs. A captivating read for designers, analysts, historians, and anyone curious about the origins of how we turn data into decisions.
