Science, Cold War and the American State: Lloyd V. Berkner and the Balance of Professional Ideals (Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine)

This book illuminates how Berkner became a model that produced the scientist/advisor/policymaker that helped build post-war America. It does so by providing a detailed account of the personal and professional beliefs of one of the most influential figures in the American scientific community; a figure that helped define the political and social climates that existed in the United States during the Cold War.
