Books in My Lobby 8


So many books, so few lobbies. Here we have a non-fiction selection, American Prometheus, the Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Those piercing blue eyes, that cigarette, that Fedora, and the history of the atomic bomb in one handy book. Winner of the National Book Critics Award for Biography. MEEEOW.

Don't feel like buying the book? Check out all you need to know about atomic bomb history here. Interested in becoming an atomic scientist yourself? Then check this out.
