Operation Paperclip exposes the top-secret U.S. intelligence program that brought Nazi scientists—including those involved in war crimes—into America’s most advanced military, aerospace, and bioweapons projects. Annie Jacobsen uncovers declassified documents and first-hand accounts that reveal how former Third Reich specialists were placed in high-ranking positions within NASA, the Pentagon, and the CIA, shaping the Cold War, space race, and modern warfare. With chilling details and impeccable research, this book reveals the dark origins of America’s post-war technological supremacy. Because history doesn’t repeat, but it sure loves a remix.
