The dark underbelly of science has never lurked as prominently as when it was harnessed for state-sanctioned "research". In newly published records, discover Stalin's gruesome trials to create a hybrid human-ape super army, the eerie reason East Germany's Stasi collected the scents of dissidents in airtight jars, and how the CIA uncovered a secret Soviet island devoted to developing deadly bioweapons. Even generations later, the extreme experimentations executed in the name of national security continue to chill one's blood.
