American Prometheus is the 1st full biography of J. Rbt Oppenheimer, "father of the atomic bomb," the charismatic physicist who led the effort to capture the sun's fire for his country in time of war. Immediately after Hiroshima, he became the most famous scientist of his generation-one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, an embodiment of modern man confronting the consequences of scientific progress. He was author of a radical proposal to place internat'l controls over atomic materials-an idea still relevant. He opposed development of the hydrogen bomb & criticized the USAF's plans for nuclear war. In the hysteria of the early 50s, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup, &, in response, Atomic Energy Commission chairman Lewis Strauss, Hbomb advocate Edward Teller & FBI director J. Edgar Hoover worked behind the scenes to have a hearing board decide he couldn't be trusted with nuclear secrets. American Prometheus details his life
