About operation paper clip and im going to tell you about what the program was. Im going to tell you a little bit about how i became interested in writing and researching and reporting pacing paper clip, and then im going to end by telling you some very what think are interesting ways in which the story gets reported. To start with, my book, these gentlemen are 21 of approximately 1600 german scientists who came to america to work for the u. S. Military and intelligence agencies of the war. I focus on these men because i found them to be particularly unique and interesting, and somewhat nefarious. On varying degrees. And i think its important to also realize that whenever youre reporting a story like this, its about writing on the riding on the heels of many important journalists and historians who have come before. So while i do bring lots of new information to the table, academics, also have been involved in unearthing this story over the decades, but i think now theres really a ligh
The korean war on asian history and World History and on the come contemporary positions of the mainact ors. How did you decide to write other book on the korean war . Guest well in 2007 i was asked whether i might consider writing a project on the war, and at the time i was working on policy issues at the u. S. Army world college, and i thought that it was a worthy project because i interested in contemporary korean issues issue thought a book about of course, the problems with north korea, i thought about the problem if the the two koreas and the division in 1945, and to serve as a way in which we can understand contemporary events. So thats the basic reason. Then as i started to get into the research for the book, or tried to frame what the book i wanted to write a book that was sort of about was political and military history and also wanted to include cultural and social history and include all the participants in the war, china, United States, the two koreas and the soviet union,
Armistice, which brought an end to the fighting stages of the war. One of the interesting aspects of the way that you have framed this book is that its not just about the events of the fighting phase of the war itself, but also talks a lot about the impact of the korean war on asian issues and on world history, and even on the contemporary positions of the main countries and actors. How did you decide that you wanted to write a book on the korean war . Yeah, well, in 2007 i was asked whether or not i might consider writing a project on the war. And at the time i was looking at policy issues at the u. S. Army war college, and i thought that it was a worthy project because at the time, because ive interest in contemporary korean issues i thought a book about, and, of course, i thought a book about a history of, beginning with the division in 1945 was, could serve as a way in which we could understand contemporary events.

Inaction in the aftermath of the killing of Trayvon Martin, the goal was to ensure that the system worked through the proper process. That the killing of an unarmed 17yearold black child did not go uninvestigated and unprosecuted. So now the first part of that system has played out.

We must confront as generations have done before us the stark realities of race, violence and justice.
