Intellectual History: American Prometheus, Part 3: Bird and Sherwin

After Watching Christopher Nolan's latest hit, "Oppenheimer," I started studying their source biography, American Prometheus, Bird and Sherwin. The 850 plus biography, of course, documented the rise and fall of Oppenheimer as "father of the Atomic bomb." His fascinating life from New York City to Harvard, to Cambridge, to Cal Tech and Berkeley, to Los Alamos, to Princeton, was full of crackerjack intelligence, deep relationships, constant pressure and ultimately disgrace and elevation. Oppenheimer was the most famous character in the development, execution, and vilification of the greatest destructive weapon and the cold war. It has taken me 3 weeks to study the novel and the PBS movie, "The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer," which documents the conspiracy to disgrace the famous scientist.
Part 3:  Los Alamos, recruited by American General, development of the Atomic Bomb, the race to build one and end WWII, the women, the scientist, all under his leadership.
