PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • The definitive biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, 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.
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE OPPENHEIMER
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.
When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s. They declared that Oppenheimer could not be trusted with America’s nuclear secrets.
In this magisterial biography twenty-five years in the making, which won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for biography, the authors capture Oppenheimer’s life and times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold War.

Diaries seem to have been used a lot and the vast amount of research that went into the book is astounding, down to food he ate and what he wore, and his haircuts. The ending for me, was sad, that such a great mind was alone is so many ways. The word Genius is not enough to describe his intellect, and still he was liked by many, not generally traits that go hand in hand. When one is asked, who would like to have at a dinner table if you could pick someone from history, this gentleman would be on my list.
I enjoyed it, so should you.
Don’t let the recording put you off learning about such a great figure in life.
