The original herb cover edition was published in 1971 by the Athenium Press, by the last name L-A-S-B-Y.
There have been subsequent editions published and saw off cover, and I've noted that now AI companies are buying up old books to train their AIs on them, because so many of the newer volumes are, quote, AI slop, unquote.
And it says, at the close of World War II, Joseph Stalin was outraged to learn that his soldiers, that's spelled S-O-L-D-E-R-S, missing an I there.
This is from Project Paperclip, authored by Clarence Lasby, and the initial Athenian Press hardcover edition was published in 1971.
Now, the staver here is Major Robert Staver of the United States Army, and he was involved with the recruiting of Nazi scientists for Project Paperclip.
He, Spavor, had listened earnestly as the specialists described their future plans.
They would construct an outer-unquote station useful for astronomers and for the launching of spaceships into the stellar regions.
They would construct a large reflector for focusing the sun's rays onto the Earth for power-generating purposes.
The wrapper could be used as well for another objective, quote, which has been described as a terrible thing, a weapon which will enable the first country to achieve this undertaking to rule the world.

On June 28th of 1945, as if in celebration of the achievement, Ordnance Colonel John A. Keck made the first public disclosure concerning the unique war booty.
At a news conference in Paris, France, He spoke with pride about the capture and interrogation of 1,200, quote, popline, unquote, scientists and told his audience of some of their most fantastic projects.
A sun gun, unquote, that might harness the sun's rays to demolish nations from a platform 5,100 miles in the sky.
Well, again, that's just, you know, something that was old and no one cares about that, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is an article by Hiroko Pabushi, that's capital H-I-R-O-K-O, last name capital P-A-B-U-C-H-I, maybe mispronouncing Ms. Pabushi's name.
