About this listen

In early December, 1941, the United States was thrust into the Second World War. Some of the world’s top physicists, including Albert Einstein, had warned the military that a new and deadly weapon, the atomic bomb, was not only feasible, but that the Nazis may already be developing it. A crash program to be the first to develop nuclear weapons transformed a desert community in New Mexico, and brought to prominence a brilliant but troubled scientist who, within just a few years, would be celebrated and reviled as “the father of the atomic bomb.”

Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project is a short biography and history that tells the story of the man and his mission; his loves and his losses; and his rise and fall.

Great book however felt like there could have been a lot more information but good for a quick overview of Oppenheimer and the Manhattan project
