From Creator to Pariah: The Post-Bomb Life of J. Robert Oppenheimer

For those who are going to approach their new movie weekend with the grim and stylistic telling about the origins of the nuclear age they’ll get a glimpse into the most intense period or J Robert Oppenhiemer’s life, the Manhattan Project and the creation of the nuclear bomb. What do you do for an Act II after you’ve created the weapon so powerful it permanently changed the nature of war and global relationships.

Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin we look at life after the bomb for J Robert Oppenhiemer.
