Oppenheimer. The Triumph and Tragedy of the American Prometheus

The first complete and detailed biography of the "father of the atomic bomb" J. Robert Oppenheimer — a great and charismatic scientist who created a weapon capable of destroying the world. However, realizing the consequences of his work after the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he began a battle for international control over nuclear energy and fiercely opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb. Oppenheimer was hated by high-ranking supporters of "nuclear supremacy in the USA," and FBI Director Edgar Hoover kept him under continuous surveillance, studying every step and every word. The scientist's reputation was deliberately destroyed, labeling him a traitor to his country. However, time has put everything in its place... His difficult life is the key to understanding the recent past and recognizing the mistakes that can be avoided in the future.
