Re: 'Hitler's Scientists ? Book Value?

I'm halfway though the book (from the middle, ready to start the first chapter) and I agree with the Amazon reviewer's. This is a broadly aimed book that first places science in the Third Reich in the context of modern science, contrasts nazi era science development with that of the US & Britain, and looks at the moral questions. This is no book for nazifanbois or any others looking for atom bomb conspiricys & wonderwaffe. It looks to like a very usefull supplement to books like Tooze's 'Wages of Destruction' or John Ellis's 'Brute Force', a book needed to understand the economic and industrial basis of WWII.
