An unforgettable story of discovery and unimaginable destruction and a major biography of one of Americaās most brilliantāand most divisiveāscientists,
Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center vividly illuminates the man who would go down in history as āthe father of the atomic bomb.ā Oppenheimerās talent and drive secured him a place in the pantheon of great physicists and carried him to the laboratories where the secrets of the universe revealed themselves. But they also led him to contribute to the development of the deadliest weapon on earth, a discovery he soon came to fear. His attempts to resist the escalation of the Cold War arms raceācoupled with political leanings at odds with post-war Americaāled many to question his loyalties, and brought down upon him the full force of McCarthyite anti-communism. Digging deeply into Oppenheimerās past to solve the enigma of his motivations and his complex personality, Ray Monk uncovers the extraordinary, charming, tortured manāand the remarkable mindāwho fundamentally reshaped the world.
