normalguy33 's review for:

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

4.25

dark emotional informative tense medium-paced

---

An incredibly researched biography of a seemingly still mystifying man, nearly 60 years after his death. Arguably one of the most important men in history, the gravity of Oppenheimer's personality leaps off the page, with all the moral complications to boot. The authors do an airtight job of remaining morally ambiguous, leaving the reader to synthesize their own perspectives.

Frank, Peter, and Toni- you all deserved better, good LORD
