內容簡介: |
Covering 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.
