About This Item

New York: Arcade Publishing, 2012. xx, 268pp, index, notes, bibliography, appendices. Pictorial card. Near new. The exodus of mostly Jewish scientists from Hitler's Germany and Austria ended that country's fifty year supremacy in science. The Reich's losses included many of the leading physicists who later became the driving force behind the atomic bomb project. Of 1500 scientist refugees, fifteen went on to win Nobel Prizes. Includes many individual stories of emigration, rescue and escape including Einstein, Haber, Szilard among many. The dilmmas of those who stayed behind are equally dramatic- Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, Max von Laue etc.. Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good. 8vo.
