Missiles for the Fatherland was the first scholarly investigation of the culture underpinning missile development at Germany's secret missile base at Peenemünde. Michael Petersen's research reveals a complex interaction of professional ambition, internal cultural dynamics, military pressure, and political coercion, which coalesced daily life at the facility.
