More informative then anything I picked this up after watching Oppenheimer and honestly the movie really does Oppenheimers life justice this book was kinda his life and whatnot just a lot more fleshed out and with other historical facts sprinkled in the book

Maybe longer than it had to be? But I appreciate how thorough the author was especially in dealing with complicated situations like the clearance hearing. I also felt like the authors were fair and even handed in their treatment of O and other characters.
