vanamonde 's review for:

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

5.0

dark informative sad slow-paced

---

A well researched biography of the man who ran the Manhattan Project to build the world’s first atomic bomb.

I enjoyed the book but if you want plenty of details on the Manhattan Project this is not the book for you.
