J. Robert Oppenheimer is without doubt one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, an excellent physicist who led the trouble to construct the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war, and who later found himself confronting the ethical consequences of scientific progress. On this magisterial, acclaimed biography twenty-5 years within the making, Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin capture Oppenheimer?s life and times, from his early career to his central role within the Cold War. That is biography and history at its finest, riveting and deeply informative.
