For the first three decades of the twentieth century, Germany held the premier position for science throughout the world. German scientists were the most accomplished and honored in their fields, winning the lion's share of Nobel prizes. But in 1933 came Hitler. Jewish scientists were dismissed from their positions in laboratories and at universities, and the Nazi ideology began to dominate Germany's science communities. Some scientists enthusiastically collaborated with the Nazis; most merely acquiesced, arguing that science lies outside politics and morality. By the end of the Second World War, few German scientists remained untainted by a regime bent on genocide and racial conquest. - Jacket flap.

Book Details
First Sentence
"I have an early impression of my father holding me up to glimpse a black growling angel trailing fire in the moonlit sky across London: it was a VI - a long-range pilotless 'pulse-jet' flying bomb, what today we would call a cruise missile."
