The first full and detailed biography of the "father of the atomic bomb" J. Robert Oppenheimer - a great and charismatic scientist who created a weapon that could destroy the world. But, realizing the consequences of his work after the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he began to fight for international control of nuclear energy, and also fiercely opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb.
Oppenheimer was hated by high-ranking supporters of “US nuclear superiority”; he was under continuous surveillance by FBI Director Edgar Hoover, studying his every move and every word. The scientist’s reputation was purposefully destroyed by being labeled as a traitor to the motherland. However, time has put everything in its place...
His difficult life is the key to understanding the recent past and recognizing mistakes that can be avoided in the future.
