In the chaos following the Second World War, the US government faced a critical decision: what to do with the great scientific minds of the Third Reich. Many were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder. Nevertheless, the US government secretly decided that their knowledge of rocketry and medical advances were vital to the outcome of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of Paperclip family members, colleagues, and interrogators, and dossiers discovered in archives across the world, Annie Jacobsen follows more than a dozen German scientists through their postwar lives and into one of the most startling, complex, nefarious, and jealously guarded government secrets of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Chilling and riveting . . . a remarkable achievement of investigative reporting and historical writing’ Boston Globe‘The most in-depth account yet of the lives of Paperclip recruits and their American counterparts’ New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58179243049341,"sku":"9781804998823","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9781804998823.jpg?v=1778955977","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.com\/products\/9781804998823","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
