McMillan understands that reality and, without patronizing the reader, writes an engrossing narrative that anyone with any level of background-or lack thereof-on this most important of subjects can follow -New York Journal of Books Stunning . . . [an] extraordinary book. -The New York Review of Books This brief but penetrating account of [Oppenheimer's] downfall may come closest to explaining his contemporary relevance. -New York Times Book Review A must-read . . . No details are spared in exploring whether the hydrogen bomb's development could have been averted and history possibly changed, nor in examining the jealousy and deception that ultimately destroyed Oppenheimer. -The Christian Science Monitor A superb and fascinating book that illuminates unseen dimensions of one of the most controversial American stories of the twentieth century. -Michael Beschloss
