The story of Edward Teller is the story of the 20th century. Born in Hungary in 1908, Teller witnesses the rise of Nazism and anti-Semitism, two world wars, the McCarthy era, and the changing face of big science. Edward Teller tells of the people, events, and ideas that shaped him as a scientist, beginning with his early love of music and maths, and continuing with his study of quantum physics with Werner Heisenberg. Present at many of the pivotal moments in modern science, he describes his friendships with some of the century's greatest minds - Einstein, Bohr, Fermi, Szilard, von Neumann, Oppenheimer - and offers an account of the development of atomic and hydrogen bombs. He also offers a portait of his childhood, his marriage and family life, and his friendship with physicist Maria Mayer.
