Weaving the history of science and  technology with the fortunes of war and the stories of men and women whose  discoveries brought both benefits and destruction to the world, \u003ci\u003eHitler's Scientists\u003c\/i\u003e raises questions that  are still urgent today. As science becomes embroiled in new generations of  weapons of mass destruction and the war against terrorism, as advances in  biotechnology outstrip traditional ethics, this powerful account of Nazi science  forms a crucial commentary on the ethical role of  science.List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Understanding the Germans\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: Hitler's Scientific Inheritance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
