Historian and biographer Allen Pietrobon jumps back to the dawn of the Atomic Age to explore the Manhattan Project and the personalities behind it. He examines the state of science in the first half of the 20th century in order to dive deeply into the life and times of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the world-changing weapon he helped build. Weaving fascinating stories of what it was like to work at Los Alamos and the challenges the scientists encountered as they raced to get a bomb before Hitler’s Germany did, Pietrobon explores what made Oppenheimer famous.
