important personalities as the atomic bomb was developed.]
"Brotherhood of the Bomb" the Tangled Lives and Loyalties of Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller
by Gregg Herken
2002 / ISBN 0-8050-6588-1 (hb)
If Science is the story of the 20th
Century, no drama is more compelling than that of "the Bomb" and
its creators. But the riveting tale of human conflict that connects the 3 scientists most reposible for the
nuclear age (Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller) was until now known only in
broad outline.
10 years in the research and writing, Gregg Herken's eye-opening account is based on private papers;
interviews with Manhattan Project survivors; and recently released documents and coded intercepts
obtained from FBI and KGB archives and other sources around the World.
