Agusti Nieto-Galan argues that chemistry in the twentieth century
was deeply and profoundly political. Far from existing in a
distinct public sphere, chemical knowledge was applied in ways that
created strong links with industrial and military projects, and
national rivalries and international endeavours, that materially
shaped the living conditions of millions of citizens. It is within
this framework that Nieto-Galan analyses how Spanish chemists
became powerful ideological agents in different political contexts,
from liberal to dictatorial regimes, throughout the century. He
unveils chemists' position of power in Spain, their place in
international scientific networks, and their engagement in fierce
ideological battles in an age of extremes. Shared discourses
between chemistry and liberalism, war, totalitarianism, religion,
and diplomacy, he argues, led to advancements in both fields.
