An excellent, well researched book. I've never read up on Oppenheimer before, but this is the book to do it. It's comprehensive and rather unbiased in its look at him.

Read about a quarter of it when I watched the movie. Thought both were excellent. But it’s hard to separate the two in my mind now. So I can only say this was really good. Worth every page.
