J. Robert Oppenheimer: Father of the Atomic Bomb
The man chosen to build the world’s first nuclear weapon was neither a militaristic hawk nor a chest-thumping patriot. He was J. Robert Oppenheimer-scientist, bohemian, and radical. BIOGRAPHY® presents the ironic story of the man known as “the father of the atomic bomb.” Physics professor J. Robert Oppenheimer was plucked from the University of California at Berkeley to lead the army’s top secret Manhattan project in 1942. Three years later, his mission completed, the former professor became a government advisor on nuclear weapons. But true to his days at Berkeley, Oppenheimer chose to campaign against further development of nuclear arms. This controversial stance left an indelible mark on his short, charismatic life.
