Operation Paperclip by Annie Jacobsen Book Summary

The “remarkable” story of America's secret post-WWII science programs (The Boston Globe), from the New York Times bestselling author of Area 51. 
In the chaos following World War II, the U.S. government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States.

Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery. They were also directly responsible for major advances in rocketry, medical treatments, and the U.S. space program. Was Operation Paperclip a moral outrage, or did it help America win the Cold War?

Drawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of Paperclip family members, colleagues, and interrogators, and with access to German archival documents (including previously unseen papers made available by direct descendants of the Third Reich's ranking members), files obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and dossiers discovered in government archives and at Harvard University, Annie Jacobsen follows more than a dozen German scientists through their postwar lives and into a startling, complex, nefarious, and jealously guarded government secret of the twentieth century.

In this definitive, controversial look at one of America's most strategic, and disturbing, government programs, Jacobsen shows just how dark government can get in the name of national security.

"Harrowing...How Dr. Strangelove came to America and thrived, told in graphic detail." —Kirkus Reviews

Great Story. Had no idea and thought it was well written.

Operation Paperclip. This book really opened my eyes along with destroying some of my idols. It is a very easy read and the author manages to bring the history to life for me. If you are a rocket and space fan, this will possibly disturb you. Learning that the major players of NASA were Nazis. Hard core Nazis that were brought over by our country to work for us. This e-book also is loaded with footnotes. When you click on one, it will take you to it. I loved it. I love reading footnotes. Once finished, all you have to do is click the “Go Back to Page ??” and it takes you to wherever you were reading. You never loose your place. I get the low star ratings unless they didn’t read the book. I saw this book on Glenn Beck on evening and decided to give it chance. It was well worth my time and money.

Captivating and Evocative. This book is a must have for anyone interested in the subjects of WWII, NASA, and American military and political history, generally or otherwise. Anne Jacobson’s dedication to research is astounding, and the new information this book provides is eloquently and thoughtfully delivered. A triumph!

Fascinating Story. Although the morality behind the actions taken by all of the governments involved is questionable, the preparation and logistics of initiating this process was fascinating. The stories are so incredible it reads like a science fiction novel, however, it is truly chilling that which was stopped by the end of the war and that which which continued after the war.
