New. Reprint. An exceptional copy.

xiii, 721 pp. Inspiration for the award-winning 2023 film Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., etc. American Prometheus is a rich evocation of America at midcentury, a new and compelling portrait of a brilliant, ambitious, complex and flawed man profoundly connected to its major events - the Depression, World War II and the Cold War. It is at once biography and history, and essential to our understanding of our recent past - and of our choices for the future.
