Oceanographers and the Cold War: Disciples of Marine Science by Jacob Darwin Hamblin
Requirements: pdf reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: Oceanographers and the Cold War is about patronage, politics, and the community of scientists. It is the first book to examine the study of the oceans during the Cold War era and explore the international focus of American oceanographers, taking into account the roles of the U.S. Navy, United States foreign policy, and scientists throughout the world. Jacob Hamblin demonstrates that to understand the history of American oceanography, one must consider its role in both conflict and cooperation with other nations.
Paradoxically, American oceanography after World War II was enmeshed in the military-industrial complex while characterized by close international cooperation. The military dimension of marine science–with its involvement in submarine acoustics, fleet operations, and sea-launched nuclear missiles–coexisted with data exchange programs with the Soviet Union and global operations in seas without borders.
