American Prometheus is the Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant and controversial physicist who led the Manhattan Project—the secret wartime effort to develop the atomic bomb.
Drawing on decades of research, Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin deliver a powerful portrait of a complex man: a genius, a patriot, a victim of McCarthyism, and a moral philosopher who grappled with the consequences of his work.
This definitive biography served as the inspiration for Christopher Nolan’s film Oppenheimer, and it reveals not just the science, but the soul of a man who changed the course of history.
