In their Pulitzer Prize winning book, American Prometheus, Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin present J. Robert Oppenheimer's life and times in revealing and unprecedented detail. Their book has become the definitive biography of the enigmatic physicist who will forever be known as the father of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer's controversial life story is also a story deeply emblematic of America itself in the twentieth century.
