In 1933 Hitler dismissed all Jewish scientists from positions in laboratories and universities, and the Nazi ideology began to dominate Germany's science communities. Some scientists collaborated enthusiastically with the Nazi's; most merely acquiesced, arguing that science lies outside politics and morality. By the end of WW2, few german scientists remained untainted by a regime bent on genocide and racial conquest. John Cornwell's account sets the story of scientists under Hitler against the background panorama of Germany's relentless scientific rise in the 19th century through its collapse in 1945. His powerful account weaves 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. .

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. John Cornwell, author of the acclaimed international best~seller Hitler's Pope, sets the story of scientists under Hitler against the background panorama of Germany's relentless scientific rise in the nineteenth century through its collapse in 1945. His powerful account weaves 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. Nazi Germany achieved a remarkable range of technological breakthroughs, including early television, radar, and mechanical encryption as well as launching the first jet plane. Despite an early lead in nuclear science, Hitler's scientists failed to make an atom bomb, and his ballistic missile project squandered vast resources for irrational ends. Cornwell traces the origins of racial cleansing that led to programs of eugenics and euthanasia and to the Nazi death camps, and recounts the growth of new physics that led to the birth of nuclear research and the construction of the first great weapons of mass destruction. Hitler's teams developed both conventional and high~tech weapons that enabled Nazi Germany to prosecute a world war, but organizational weakness and chaos undermined any technological advantages in the end. In the Nazi era's final sordid chapter come the futile "wonder weapons," the concentration camp experiments, the use of slave labor, and the technologies of cruelty and mass murder. Cornwell chillingly reviews Hitler's idiosyncratic notions of science and the outlandish pseudoscience of Himmler while portraying an extraordinary community of brilliant men and women whose integrity was tested to the limit by their discoveries and the exigencies of the time. These include Fritz Haber, the poison gasser of World War I; Otto Hahn, who, with Lise Meitner, discovered the secrets of atomic fission; and Werner Heisenberg, head of the Nazi atomic bomb program. At the same time, he tells the stories of some of the great German~speaking figures of the century, outstanding both as scientists and as human beings: Al [Howell, MI, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2003]

Description: ISBN10: 0670030759, ISBN13: 9780670030750, [publisher: Viking Books] Hardcover First Edition Owner embossed seal on flypage otherwise an unmarked copy.An eye-opening account of the rise of science in Germany through to Hitlers 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 Hitlers 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.

No priority/international, except by arrangement. "When Hitler came to power in the 1930s, Germany had led the world in science, mathematics, and technology for nearly four decades. But while the fact that Hitler swiftly pressed Germany's scientific prowess into the service of a brutal, racist, xenophobic ideology is well known, few realize that German scientists had knowingly broken international agreements and basic codes of morality to fashion deadly weapons even before World War I. In Hitler's Scientists, British historian John Cornwell explores German scientific genius in the first half of the twentieth century and shows how Germany's early lead in the new physics led to the discovery of atomic fission, which in turn led the way to the atom bomb, and how the ideas of Darwinism were hijacked to create the lethal doctrine of racial cleansing. By the war's end, almost every aspect of Germany's scientific culture had been tainted by the exploitation of slave labor, human experimentation, and mass killings. Ultimately, it was Hitler's profound scientific ignorance that caused the Fatherland to lose the race for atomic weapons, which Hitler would surely have used. Cornwell argues that German scientists should be held accountable for the uses to which their knowledge was put-an issue with wide-ranging implications for the continuing unregulated pursuit of scientific progress. / John Cornwell is in the department of history and philosophy of science at Cambridge University. He is a regular feature writer at the Sunday Times (London) and the author and editor of four books on science, including Power to Harm, on the Louisville Prozac trial." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover.
