American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
Anbieter: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spanien
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Como nuevo. : American Prometheus es la primera biografía completa de J. Robert Oppenheimer, el brillante y carismático físico que lideró el esfuerzo para capturar el asombroso fuego del sol para su país en tiempos de guerra. Inmediatamente después de Hiroshima, se convirtió en el científico más famoso de su generación, una de las figuras icónicas del siglo XX, la encarnación del hombre moderno que enfrenta las consecuencias del progreso científico. Fue el autor de una propuesta radical para establecer controles internacionales sobre los materiales atómicos, una idea que sigue siendo relevante hoy en día. Se opuso al desarrollo de la bomba de hidrógeno y criticó los planes de la Fuerza Aérea para librar una guerra nuclear infinitamente peligrosa. En la histeria ahora casi olvidada de principios de la década de 1950, sus ideas fueron un anatema para los poderosos defensores de una acumulación nuclear masiva y, en respuesta, el presidente de la Comisión de Energía Atómica, Lewis Strauss, el defensor de la Superbomba Edward Teller y el director del FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, trabajaron entre bastidores para que una junta de audiencias dictaminara que no se podía confiar en Oppenheimer con los secretos nucleares de Estados Unidos. American Prometheus expone la vida y la época de Oppenheimer con detalles reveladores y sin precedentes. Exhaustivamente investigado, se basa en miles de registros y cartas recopilados de archivos en Estados Unidos y en el extranjero, en archivos masivos del FBI y en cerca de un centenar de entrevistas con amigos, familiares y colegas de Oppenheimer.
