American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
by Martin J. Sherwin, Kai Bird
4★: GOOD, BUT COULD’VE BEEN CRISPER. This is a complex story. It’s not just the story of one man or one event. It’s biographical facts, personality, and values... history, politics, and war... family, friends, and loyalty... science, evolution, and ethics... paranoia, power, and scandal... humanity, courage, and conviction. So many layers, and likely still countless missing pieces. I don’t know how America will ever collectively learn from its past when such tangled accounts as these are reduced to mere paragraphs in textbooks. >sigh<
I read this in preparation to watch the new 3-hour OPPENHEIMER movie that came out in theatres three months ago. Three hours = watch at home. American Prometheus currently has a 4.26-star average by 30,309 reviewers. I do recommend it to anyone interested in American history.
