Scientists accustomed to working with limited resources and virtually no deadlines now had to adjust to a world of virtually unlimited resources and exacting deadlines.
This was a fascinating listen! I learned so much, unfortunately and most notably, that the atomic bomb wasn’t even needed to end the war. I did not love the organization and structure of this and it felt like it dragged a bit. However, it’s very clear that this biography was well researched and nuanced, though perhaps a little too friendly to Opie.
