Our Germans
Project Paperclip and the National Security State
«What distinguishes Our Germans is its emphasis on the role of the specialists in the emerging national security state of the early Cold War, where Project Paperclip 'exacerbated the growing rift between the State Department and an ascendant national security bureaucracy' (99). But most importantly, Our Germans is a much-needed update and expansion of Clarence Lasby's 1971 Project Paperclip: German Scientists and the Cold War.

—American Historical Review»
«In the aftermath of the Second World War, the US government recruited hundreds of German scientists and engineers, including the designers of the V2 rocket, to staff American agencies and companies under the so-called Paperclip programme. Crim draws on recently declassified documents to reveal the history of the programme and the controversies it provoked.
—International Institute for Strategic Studies»
«Through participant vignettes, historian Crim provides insight into early Cold War decision-making in this well-documented, microhistorical, dissertation-like expose of Project Paperclip. Highly recommended.
—Choice»
«A very fine account concerning the internal dynamics of the Paperclip program, providing a more nuanced evaluation than has hitherto been available.
—H-Net Reviews»
«At a time when drones, cyberweapons, and other high technology continue to substitute for coherent foreign policy, Crim's book is a sober reminder of the moral hazards of a technocratic national security state.
