Über diesen Titel
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • The definitive biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war, and who later found himself confronting the moral consequences of scientific progress.
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE OPPENHEIMER
J. Robert Oppenheimer is one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war and who later found himself confronting the moral consequences of scientific progress.
When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s. They declared that Oppenheimer could not be trusted with America’s nuclear secrets.
In this magisterial biography twenty-five years in the making, which won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for biography, the authors capture Oppenheimer’s life and times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold War.

Kritikerstimmen
"The definitive biography....Oppenheimer's life doesn't influence us. It haunts us." (Newsweek)
"[A] profoundly fascinating, richly complex, and ineffably sad American life....Bird and Sherwin are without peer...in capturing the humanity of the man." (Booklist)
"A work of voluminous scholarship and lucid insight, unifying its multifaceted portrait with a keen grasp of Oppenheimer's essential nature....It succeeds in deeply fathoming his most damaging, self-contradictory behavior." (New York Times)
Die politischen Verwerfungen der damaligen Zeit werden sehr detailliert und spannend aufbereitet
Großartig recherchiert

something new that I have learned: the importance of Ethical Culture societies and their schools.
that's important for better understanding Jewish tradition and culture in the modern western world.
the Ethical Culture societies had opened a window for a common evolution.
today, in 2022, all tendencies are on the reverse: confrontation + war.
the evil forces are dominating our era, since 1879, the year of birth of Einstein, and the time of Planck, Heisenberg, Bohr, as well as Freud and Jung.
following the UR-KATASTROPHE of WE I, we are approaching the cataclysm.
Europe and the USA are leading, as always since 1492.
a great biography - lessons for life
