Most people who know anything about Operation Paperclip equate it with the German scientist like Wernher von Braun and others that worked on the space race against the Soviets and allowed the US to eventually get a man on the moon. The…

Having read it . The author does not put in context the state of US and Russia relations. Both sides wanted access the technology the Germans had. The scientists figured America gave them a better chance to survive. The 1980's East German…

This is pure CIA/NSA/FBI cover-up propaganda trying to justify the American government participating and using evil Nazi scum to further their own Eugenics agenda. You can't put people on trial for crimes against humanity and then put them…

War is still Hell. Perhaps the most remarkable thing in history is that the Soviet Union and the United States didn't blow each other, and much of the world, up with nuclear weapons. Just as remarkable, neither country destroyed…

Stomach-churning. We could have extracted the information we needed from them and then tried them for war-crimes. Then again--did we really need them? We had "proof-of-concept" of their futuristic technologies. We could have figured…

This book sheds light on a subject that is shameful to the United States. Nazis who committed horrible crimes against humanity were set free if they were scientists with knowledge we wanted to further our country in war and in rocket…

And also the Japanese scientists who were on their way to America via Hawaii when Pearl Harbors bomb attacks began. The US would not have reacted so harshly [bombing women and children] if they didn't have something or someone worth alot…

Jacobsen really does shoddy or sloppy research, which compounds the amount of misinformation out there! Just several items: she soft peddles on the heinous monsters John J. McCloy pardoned and transported to America, which really…
