AMERICAN PROMETHEUS by BIRD, KAI (Hardcover - 2008)
ISBN: 9781843547044
Subject: BIOGRAPHY
Publisher: ATLANTIC BOOKS UK

Physicist and polymath, as familiar with Hindu scriptures as he was with quantum mechanics director of the Manhattan Project laboratory that developed the atom bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer was the most famous scientist of his generation. Yet in his rise and eventual fall, he became a tragic figure, perhaps the embodiment of modern man as he confronts the terrifying consequences – practical and moral – of scientific progress. American Prometheus provides a new and compelling portrait of a brilliant, ambitious, complex and flawed man and his profound involvement with his times – with the Depression, Communism, World War II, McCarthyism and the nuclear arms race that defined the Cold War.
