A superb 450 page (double spaced) 4.7 MB PhD dissertation. An attempt to take an objective and in depth look at the social and human factor aspects of the development of the V2 / A4 - how the developers came to accept the use of slave labour and all else that was necessary to operate the project. Presented 2005. University of Maryland. https://drum.umd.edu/dspace/bitstream/1903/2861/1/umi-umd-2357.pdf While this may sound distant from technical aspects a quick skim shows that it contains much that would be of interest to engineers and rocketry enthusiasts in general. If you're also a student of human nature or have an interest in all things WW2 related it's an added bonus. Some interesting photos that I've not seen before. Most B&W but largely excellent quality. One colour or perhaps colourised photo of a V2 in assembly. 20 odd pages of bibliography. Worth a look to many people.
