ISBN10: 0670034223, ISBN13: 9780670034222, [publisher: New York : Viking] Hardcover VIII, 373 S. Umschlag leicht berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - On April 12, 1954, the nation was astonished to learn that scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer faced charges of violating national security. The brilliant leader of the Manhattan Project had been cast into disgrace overnight. Was the arrogant genius, the charismatic head of the team that had developed the atomic bomb and ended World War II, really a traitor? In this riveting narrative, bestselling author Priscilla J. McMillan draws on newly declassified documents, unpublished manuscripts, private correspondence, and decades of unique interviews with the major characters in the story to present, at long last, the truth about the downfall of America's most famous-and famously enigmatic-scientist. The real Robert Oppenheimer has eluded biographers for decades. Priscilla McMillan's long-awaited book does not attempt a full biography, but instead focuses a laser on those fraught years from 1949 to 1955, to chronicle the firestorm that surrounded Oppenheimer and the entire atomic enterprise in the years just after the war. These were the years that saw power shift from the scientists who had created the bomb, and were increasingly afraid of it, to the politicians who wanted to use it for their own purposes. A cabal of hard-line Air Force officials, anti-Communist politicians, and rival scientists came together ...

New York Viking 2005 First Printing [Stated] Hardcover Very good in Very good jacket [10], 373, [1] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. Minor page discoloration. Minor edge soiling. Priscilla Johnson McMillan is a distinguished author and journalist focusing on U.S. foreign policy, the arms race, and the Cold War. She has published three books: Khrushchev and the Arts, Marina and Lee, and The Ruin of Robert J. Oppenheimer. Priscilla is an associate of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard, and is active in civil liberties, arms control, and environmental causes. A narrative based on newly declassified government documents and in-depth interviews describes the years during which scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and a group of scientists worked to prevent rivals from building more dangerous nuclear weapons only to become the victims of a McCarthy-era conspiracy. Only 40, 000 in the first printing! During the 1980's, members of the J. Robert Oppenheimer Memorial Committee of New Mexico approached Priscilla McMillan and suggested that she write a new account of the Oppenheimer affair. They offered her no money, but a free hand and access to some of the older scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Priscilla learned a little physics and a lot about the classification system by which the government holds onto its secrets. And she remembered a good deal about her younger days, when Joe McCarthy ran rampant. She hoped that ...
