Description

The book ""The Rescue of Science and Learning: The Story of the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars"" by Stephen Duggan is a detailed account of the efforts made by a group of intellectuals to rescue scholars who were displaced from their home countries during World War II. The Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars was formed in 1933 to help those scholars who were facing persecution in Nazi Germany. The book describes how the committee worked tirelessly to provide financial aid, academic positions, and other support to these scholars, enabling them to continue their work and research in the United States. The book also discusses the challenges faced by the committee, including the opposition it faced from some American academics and politicians who were suspicious of the foreign scholars. Overall, the book provides a fascinating insight into the role played by the committee in rescuing and supporting these displaced scholars, and its impact on the world of science and learning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
