ktbshaw 's review for:
American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
by Martin J. Sherwin, Kai Bird
This book made me think about the enormous trust we place in those we consider reliable sources of information, such as journalists and scientists, and about the culture of secrecy in government. Without good understanding, erroneous decisions in public policy can easily be made. I learned about history with which I was unfamiliar and was able to apply these lessons to current politics, so I consider this a very good book, but some parts of the book were a long slog I did not particularly enjoy, so I only placed it on my 3-star bookshelf.
