I've not read that book, but I have read some of the stories on how IBM 
provided machinery to the Nazis.

On the other hand, I've also read some of the stories (MIT Press: IBM's 
Early Computers) on how IBM cooperated with the US Department of War, 
and how IBM built a lot of neat things to support the US military.

Technology is neutral.
