Robert Oppenheimer: Letters and Recollections (Stanford Nuclear Age Series)

Isn't it a good idea to let Japan PM Abe_心臓 read this book who publicly proclaimed Nuclear Contamination at Fukushima is under control, whereas Oppie uttered in this book that nuclear power is uncontrollable.

This book is not meant as general reading. For more colorful writing, see Smith's _A Peril and a Hope_. Letters and Recollections is, however, an incredibly valuable resource for those of us researching the time period and Oppenheimer. There were letters, interviews, and insights that I simply could not have obtained anywhere else. Smith has a personal connection with Los Alamos, and that shows in her writing and sources. She gives an side to Oppenheimer like no other book I've read (and trust me, I've read a lot of them). Thank you, A.K.S.!

J. Robert Oppenheimer was better at keeping himself hidden than most people, and you won't learn a lot about him from these letters, but it does a give a rare, patial glimpse of a very mysterious person.

Great hardback and in good condition slight rip on the slip cover however the book itself is in perfect condition can't complain, came from the states all the way to the uk and packaged very well, I'm halfway through the book and find its very insightful if you're interested in the life of Robert Oppenheimer.

good
