Our Germans: Project Paperclip and the National Security State.

摘要

Brian E. Crim's Our Germans; Project Paperclip and the National Security State is a valuable contribution to Cold War scholarship and the history of technology. Crim sleuths through a trove of declassified documents to reveal complex layers of debate about Project Paperclip, the military-led incorporation of German scientists and engineers into the American postwar scene. By describing the absorption of "our Germans" into the national security state or military/civilian apparatus of the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), the book highlights contentious debates, shifting priorities, increasing pressures for immigration expediency, and other considerations about the past, current, and future capabilities of German-born scientists and engineers.
