mowadat 's review for:
American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
by Martin J. Sherwin, Kai Bird
emotional
informative
inspiring
reflective
tense
slow-paced
The book is fairly well written but it can be so meandering and bogged down in details. I think it could definitely have been shorter and more streamlined. However the authors always made some interesting point although it was drawn out. The focal individual is an interesting person who lived an eventful life that coincided with many of the societal issues of his time and the writers communicated this well.
