A review by tzana
American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird, Martin J. Sherwin

dark emotional funny informative sad tense fast-paced

4.75

For a 800 page brick, I certainly didn't expect it to be so fast paced.

Also, seriously, who let this man get outside of his house, I was expecting war crimes, not tomfoolery and clowning beyond human comprehension
