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.

McMillan draws on newly declassified documents, unpublished manuscripts, private correspondence, and decades of unique interviews with the major characters in the story to present, at long last, the truth about the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 to ...

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.

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 ho ...
