Description
What responsibility do the Manhatten Project scientists have for the atomic devastation of Hiroshima The Krupps scientists for the crematoriums at Auschwitz This book considers two related phenomena - the positive public image of science as the citadel of truth and the objectivity and the angst displyed by scientists over their indirect roles in technological horrors.
