Description
An extraordinary book about the rise and fall of the 'father of the atomic bomb.' The brilliant physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, led the effort to build an atomic bomb for his country during World War II – the so-called Manhattan Project. Later, he faced the moral consequences of the scientific progress to which he had significantly contributed. Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin capture his life and times in this extensive and acclaimed biography, which took twenty-five years to create, from the beginnings of the scientist's career to Oppenheimer's central role in the Cold War.
