The Book of Guilt, Catherine ChidgeyRead about another entry on the list.
Imagine if Never Let Me Go was written by Stanley Milgram. The Book of Guilt explores a fascinating alternative history conundrum: if Hitler’s Germany had been overthrown by its own bureaucrats, leading to a draw rather than clear winners and losers, how exactly would all that Nazi science have made its way into allied research? While Chidgey is clearly inspired by the real-life stories of rocket scientists taking their torture-based aeronatics lessons to the US, the scientists in The Book of Guilt go a step further, with German scientists given British government funding to continue their studies, with inevitably devastating results.
