The Paperclip Conspiracy: the Battle for the Spoils And Secrets of Nazi Germany by Tom Bower

The Paperclip Conspiracy was the climax of an astonishing battle between the Allies in the aftermath of war to seize the spoils of Nazi Germany. Just weeks after Hitler's defeat, men classified as 'ardent Nazis' were chosen by senior officers in the Pentagon to become respectable American citizens. Whilst in Britain political controversy inhibited plans to hire incriminated Germans in the drive for economic recovery, the French and Russians took on anyone regardless of their crimes, and the Americans, through a web of deceit, sanitised the murderous records of their Nazi scientists. Tom Bower's extraordinary book reveals for the first time the lies and calculating ruthlessness of Allied politicians, civil servants and businessmen who openly fought amongst themselves about the profits and plunder of victory, a struggle whose fruits include the moon landing and the development of nuclear missile systems. This 1988 Paladin Paperback is in very good condition.
