A Life Inside the Center

Robert Oppenheimer

Explores the complex intellectual life of the innovator of the atomic bomb, providing coverage of such topics as his sympathy toward Communism, his lead over the Manhattan Project, and his Jewish faith.

Aaron Bach

Abandoning this one. 7 chapters in, and in each, Monk's ability to ramble on and on about Oppenheimer's friend's sister's grandfather's role in fighting the wars of the Southwest shines. Can't take it.
