The first complete and detailed biography of "the father of the atomic bomb" J. Robert Oppenheimer - a great and charismatic scientist who created a weapon capable of destroying the world. However, realizing the consequences of his work after the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he began to fight for international control over nuclear energy, and vehemently opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb. Oppenheimer was hated by high-ranking supporters of "US nuclear superiority," and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover kept a constant watch on him, studying his every move and every word. The scientist's reputation was deliberately destroyed, labeling him as a traitor to his country. However, time has put everything in its place... His complex life is the key to understanding the recent past and realizing the mistakes that can be avoided in the future.
