Book Description
Science in the early 20th century was replete with ironies. Nazi Germany's persecution of the Jews led many of Europe's best physicists to flee to America, where they helped develop the atomic bomb; the Soviet Union, while publicly trumpeting its scientific achievements, threw its best geneticists in jail when they dared to question state-sponsored charlatans.
About the Author
Jacob Darwin Hamblin, Ph.D., teaches history of science at California State University, Long Beach, CA.
