About the Book

In the name of science? P.J.W. Debye and his career in Nazi Germany describes and analyses the highly successful career of the Dutch physicist and Nobel prize winner P.J.W. Debye (1884-1966) in the Third Reich. The book sketches the life of a man who lived for science, but at the same time maintained close contacts with influential officials, industrialists and sometimes even politicians. In this context Debye declined to respond in public to the treatment of Jews in society in general and in science in particular, even after his migration to the United States in 1940. By combining a biographical perspective with network analysis and research on contemporary moral assessments, this book sheds new and disturbing light on Debye's socio-political worldview and his involvement in the Aryanisation of German science

About the Author :
Dr Martijn Eickhoff (1967) is a historian who has published widely on the role and position of academics in the Third Reich. He is a researcher at the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (NIOD) in Amsterdam and a lecturer in cultural history at the Radboud University of Nijmegen.

Review :
-Martijn Eickhoff's book, a careful, subtle, and above all critical account, makes several ariginal contributions to our understanding, not only of Peter Debye, rather also of science under National Socialism in general.� - Mark Walker in Metascience[-][-]-Martijn Eickhoff consulted nearly thirty archives in seven countries, conducted eight interviews with various family members and scientists, and carefully weighed the evidence in the primary and secondary literature.� - Klaus Hentschel in ISIS, 101: 2 (2010)[-][-]-Its author, historian Martijn Eickhof, provides a solidly documented and often fascinating account of Debye's German career, with insight into his personality, attitude, and the practice of science in the Third Reich.� - Ruth Lewin Sime in Phys. Perspect. 12 (2010)
