American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Martin J. Sherwin, Kai Bird

5.0

Most of major events that happened here was covered perfectly by Nolan, which it shamed me to admit that while reading the audiobook, it made me spaced out a lot ad didn't pay attention to more details things that was happening. But the things that I adore here, are some of the 'domestic' moments that wasn't included in the movie. Like about little Oppie who seems to be an adrenaline junkies and always seek for a high-risk adventure, his college days where he would travel and isolated himself from his friends during his psychiatric treatment and resulting in various rumours that neither Oppie confirmed or rather he forgot (according to his friends statements), and especially his old days, after the whole trial that Strauss made him through, during this part, we learn more about Kitty and especially his daughter, Toni. It breaks me.
