Synopsis

"[The author] has done a great service to historians of modern physics by editing this first anthology of primary sources, excellently translated into English… The texts are well selected and range widely, from private correspondence and official memoranda to articles dealing with physics in a propagandistic or popular manner… Many of the sources are extremely interesting and appear here for the first time. Their value is further enhanced by the editor's cross-referencing and detailed notes… [The book] is also a fine introduction to the entire subject. [The] 101-page 'introduction' gives an admirable survey of German physics during the Nazi period as well as a thorough discussion of the historiography of the subject… [The book] is of such quality and usefulness that were I to choose a single book on the history of physics in the Third Reich this might well be the one."    H. Kragh, Centaurus
