“American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin

Yes, I got into this after seeing the new Christopher Nolan movie over the summer.

It was a slow read for me, as I’m not typically a non-fiction reader. I spent a lot of time on Wikipedia reading about things mentioned in the book to help fill gaps in my knowledge.

This was my first dive into the politics of the United States during World War II and the Cold War. I found it truly fascinating, beyond just the life of Oppenheimer.
