Über diesen Titel

The “remarkable” story of America's secret post-WWII science programs (The Boston Globe), from the New York Times best-selling author of Area 51.

In the chaos following World War II, the US government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States.

Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery. They were also directly responsible for major advances in rocketry, medical treatments, and the US Space Program. Was Operation Paperclip a moral outrage, or did it help America win the Cold War?

Drawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of Paperclip family members, colleagues, and interrogators, and with access to German archival documents (including previously unseen papers made available by direct descendants of the Third Reich's ranking members), files obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and dossiers discovered in government archives and at Harvard University, Annie Jacobsen follows more than a dozen German scientists through their postwar lives and into a startling, complex, nefarious, and jealously guarded government secret of the 20th century.

In this definitive, controversial look at one of America's most strategic, and disturbing, government programs, Jacobsen shows just how dark government can get in the name of national security.

Great research, poor speaker. I would not buy it again. The speaker is not adapted for audiobooks. she should choose a professional speaker. My recommendation: get the book.

Very detailed book by Annie Jacobsen. The author takes you through the history while maintaining an objective view on the topic while managing to provoke contemplative thought.

Her performance in reading this book keeps from becoming exhausting.

It's what I expected from Annie Jacobsen!

What a great historical account of the American Industrial Military Industry did to be 1st. The sword and the shield, of the American Military efforts to become on top at no matter the moral costs. Well documented and historical supported with factual evidence with Freedom of information Acts, I recommend this book ! Thank you Annie for providing me the informed citizen on our dark past of Nazis Scientist cooperation with American Military and Industry for world supremacy on this non necessary Cold War!
