Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America

byAnnie Jacobsen

Focused on the Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America, Operation Paperclip brings Annie Jacobsen's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
