Hitler's Scientists: Science, War, and the Devil's Pact Paperback - 2004
by John Cornwell
The bestselling author of "Hitler's Pope" takes a historical look at science freed from ethics, in this "comprehensive, well-documented, and, above all, thoughtful account of the scientists who served Hitler--or, at least, Germany--during the Third Reich" ("The Washington Post"). 16 pages of photos.
Summary
An eye-opening account of the rise of science in Germany through to Hitler’s regime, and the frightening Nazi experiments that occurred during the Reich
A shocking account of Nazi science, and a compelling look at the the dramatic rise of German science in the nineteenth century, its preeminence in the early twentieth, and the frightening developments that led to its collapse in 1945, this is the compelling story of German scientists under Hitler’s regime. Weaving the history of science and technology with the fortunes of war and the stories of men and women whose discoveries brought both benefits and destruction to the world, Hitler's Scientists raises questions that are still urgent today. As science becomes embroiled in new generations of weapons of mass destruction and the war against terrorism, as advances in biotechnology outstrip traditional ethics, this powerful account of Nazi science forms a crucial commentary on the ethical role of science.
First line
The texts in this collection are drawn from three ancient biographies of Alexander of Macedonia - Alexander 'the Great' - who died in Babylon in 323 BC at the age of just thirty-two having conquered half of the known world.
