In November, 1944, World War II still raged, The Allies had made significant advances in Europe, and the Battle of the Bulge was about to irreparably harm the German military. At this time, the British government agreed to send a brigade of five thousand Jewish volunteers from Palestine to Europe to join the fight. At the war's end, the Palestinian brigade witnessed the horrors suffered by their fellow Jews, and embarked on a campaign of vengeance. But a chance encounter turned the soldiers away from violence and towards a more peaceful mission - rescuing Jewish war orphans.

A documented exposure of the frantic rush at the close of World War II by U.S, Britain and Russia to "hunt down" for their own purposes the Germans who developed the V-2 rocket, the Panzer tank and other remarkable weapons that gave Hitler his early triumphs. Each nation wanted to seize the scientists for itself, and expectations that the scientists would supply advanced technology outweighed possibilities that they might have been (and in many cases were) war criminals. The book's title derives from a secret filing system that identified doctored dossiers of Nazis the military sought: ordinary paperclips were used instead of category names.
