This is a work of original research in the field of the history of science and technology. Following WWII, the Allies attempted the largest forced technology transfer in history by extracting intellectual reparations from occupied Germany. In nearly every field of science and technology, the Western allies--the US, UK, France, and USSR--assembled teams of experts who scoured defeated Germany seeking industrial secrets and those who could explain them. The book argues that these efforts changed international ideas of what it takes to transfer technology and were themselves shaped by how policy makers saw science fitting into society.
