"This look at science before, during and after WWII in Germany is at once fascinating and frustrating. While I learned a few things I didn't know before, most of the time I found the writing too top-level and distant. The author skims the various topics and doesn't linger long enough on any of them. Overall it felt disjointed and too spotty. The stories were interesting but not well told. It read more like a dry history text-book with no spark or life. I actually recall a history text-book or two from college that were more engaging."
The author probes the idea of healing in the Nazi regime. This is not the typical book relating the ghastly deeds of of Hitler's Scientists, although there is a bit of that to be sure. However, the focus is on figuring out how doctors and scientists went completely counter to their roles and duties as public servants - to do no harm.
He tackles how these forces actually changed attitudes, not that the doctors were simply following orders, but their intrinsic belief in what they were doing."
"A fascinating study of scientists and scientific persuits leading up to and during WWII. Covers both the true science and how science became corrupted as the course of the war continued."
"As I struggled to wrap my (figurative) hands over my twisted and warped ideas about the Nazis and what they did to millions of Jews, I decided that it was time to find out the truth. And so I was thrust down into the pages of a world of tyranny, prejudice, greed, threats, twisted idealisms, and pure pandemonium. As the brilliant minds of the Manhattan Project toiled in the United States, the Nazi scientists of Hitler were embarking on a series of attempts to create the ultimate weapons. Such of these were the V-series of missiles which devastated cities like London through bomb raids. But, the Nazis failed to create a weapon of mass destruction in the final months of the war, and thus lost it.
The book itself presents irrefutable evidence and convictions of infamous scientist like Heisenberg, and thus rectifies past mistakes in our understanding of the convoluted conspiracy theories and such surrounding the Nazi science movement"
