About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“DeJong-Lambert’s book helps fill a hole in existing scholarship on the history of science in the twentieth century. … DeJong-Lambert’s book makes a welcome contribution to the development of such studies. … Cold War Politics of Genetic Research provides crisp and engaging narrative that opens new perspectives on events which played a major role on the intellectual front of the Cold War. … an excellent overview of debates on Lysenkoism in the USA from 1948 on as well as a thorough knowledge of primary sources.” (Nils Roll-Hansen, Metascience, May, 2013)Authors and Affiliations
