I'll have to pick it up. I've always considered Oppenheimer one of the most interesting people to have lived. He was very charismatic, winning over scientist and bureaucrat alike and a compromiser when necessary, but yet would not compromise when it came to the issue of the hydrogen bomb at the height of "McCarthyism". Too bad he's mostly forgotten in present day history.

He was interesting. It's a shame how much he was ostracized by the very same people who used him to get to the atomic bomb. The book does his life and his life's work justice. It's an extremely interesting and well written account.
