Hardcover/gebunden. Etat : gut. First Printing. Fotografisch gestalteter und glanzfolienkaschierter Pappeinband mit R�cken- und Deckeltitel. Der Einband leicht berieben bzw. mit leichten Kratzern, ansonsten rundum guter Erhaltungszustand. "Why did Nazi Germany never develop an atomic bomb? At its command were some of the most prominent physicists in the world, including Otto Hahn, one of the discoverers of nuclear fission, and Werner Heisenberg, a giant of quantum theory. Fear of German expertise helped drive America's Manhattan Project, but the end of World War ll revealed that "Hitler's bomb" was a myth. The Germans were far behind the Americans. Did they deliberately stall, or even derail, their own regime's project, or were they simply outpaced by the American effort? By publishing long-classified transcripts of secretly taped conversations among key German nuclear physicists, Operation Epsilon will add new fuel to this historical controversy. For the last six months of 1945, the British military interned ten leading German scientists at Farm Hall, a gracious country house near Cambridge in which every room was wiretapped. Now at last we can read the translated transcripts and virtually overhear the discussions of these extraordinary "guests". Now arrogant, now defensive, they debate the progress and moral ambivalence of their own work and react with fascination and horror to the news of the bombing of Hiroshima. The drama of their personal circumstances is no less gripping as they show the strain of isolation and captivity and talk of their competing loyalties to the German Fatherland and to the international community of physics. These remarkable conversations read like a modern morality play, revealing a complex interaction of brilliance, arrogance, and humiliation. Sir Charles Frank, OBE, FRS, worked in German physics laboratories before World War ll and was a member of the British Intelligence team on the Farm Hall project. ln addition to introducing the transcripts, he has retranslated and corrected the technical language of a key section." (Verlagstext) Die Operation Epsilon war eine Geheimdienstoperation im Rahmen der ALSOS-Mission gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Ziel der Operation war es, den amerikanischen und englischen Alliierten Kenntnis �ber den Stand der deutschen Kernphysikforschung zu verschaffen, insbesondere die Frage zu kl�ren, wie weit Deutschland in der Lage war, eine Atombombe zu bauen. Im Rahmen der Operation Epsilon wurden kurz vor Kriegsende zehn deutsche Wissenschaftler - acht Physiker und zwei Chemiker - in Gewahrsam genommen und f�r sechs Monate auf dem englischen Landsitz Farm Hall in der N�he des Dorfes Godmanchester interniert, wo ihre Gespr�che abgeh�rt und protokolliert wurden. Zehn Wissenschaftler wurden nach Farm Hall gebracht [Erich Bagge, Kurt Diebner, Walter Gerlach, Otto Hahn, Paul Harteck, Werner Heisenberg, Horst Korsching, Max von Laue, Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizs�cker und Karl Wirtz]. Acht von ihnen waren Physiker, zwei waren Chemiker (Otto Hahn und Paul Harteck). Als Friseur und Haushilfe fungierte ein junger Kriegsgefangener, Harry Kramer, der sp�ter als K�nstler und Kunstprofessor international bekannt wurde. (Wikipedia) In englischer Sprache.
