Operation Paperclip: Nazis in the Service of America. Harry Grayson. What if the key scientific advances we use today were created by people who fought on the enemy’s side? How did Nazi scientists become part of the American scientific elite, and at what point did politics become a bargain with conscience? Why did the United States take an unprecedented step after the end of World War II, which remains one of the most controversial pages in history?

In his new book, Harry Grayson reveals the dark secrets of post-war Operation Paperclip, exploring how America turned to those who once worked for the Third Reich to develop Cold War weapons and technology. Where is the line between legitimate necessity and the cynical use of enemies in the name of national security? And how great was the legacy of Nazi science?

“Operation Paperclip.” "The Nazis in America's Service" is a story full of unexpected twists and ethical questions that makes us question how far we are willing to go for the sake of scientific excellence and world politics.
