Non-Fiction Biography
J. Robert Oppenheimer is one of the iconic figures of the
twentieth century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort
to build the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war,
and who later found himself confronting the moral
consequences of scientific progress. In this magisterial,
acclaimed biography twenty-five years in the making, Kai
Bird and Martin Sherwin capture Oppenheimer’s life and
times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold
War. This is biography and history at its finest, riveting
and deeply informative.
