***THE INSPIRATION FOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN’S NEW FILM OPPENHEIMER***

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR NONFICTION

‘Reads like a thriller, gripping and terrifying’ Sunday Times

Physicist and polymath, as familiar with Hindu scriptures as he was with quantum mechanics, J. Robert Oppenheimer – director of the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb – was the most famous scientist of his generation. In their meticulous and riveting biography, Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin reveal a brilliant, ambitious, complex and flawed man, profoundly involved with some of the momentous events of the twentieth century.
