Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant physicist behind the Manhattan Project and the atomic bomb, is the subject of this Pulitzer Prize-winning biography. Review: Oppenheimer - A fantastically, well-researched book about Robert Oppenheimer that gives a great insight into his character. Review: A Revelation! The evolution of Quantum Mechanics. Life in Los Alamos. The bomb. The blowback. - This is the first complete account of the life of Oppenheimer, the bomb, the nature of his genius and the failure of those in control to understand his deeper moral insight. Right now, the same test faces the millions of Americans: half of whom believe Trump's idiotic beliefs without a scrap of evidence. Why? Because of a defective education system. It does not produce people who are able to see through the lies told by vested interests. This book is riveting. We get a very clear idea of Oppie, the immense power of mind he had which even developed fresh gifts under the pressure to build the bomb before the Nazis. His gift of handling everybody he dealt with: astonishing this is. The stupidity of those in control, like Eisenhower. The US military are not equipped. When did they ever not mess up? The two authors have given a very precise account of everything that matters, maybe too much at times, for we do not need it all. Alas, the 700 pp of the paperback are printed so close to the spine that it spoils the read. It cannot be read. See pp 64,66. William W.C.

The tragedy of the death and destruction brought on by use of the Atomic bomb is assessed both from those morally against and those excited by what it meant as a weapon to dominate others and the initiation of the inexorable journey of humanity towards its own extinction. ## Frequently Bought Together - American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J.
