Inhaltsangabe:
Physicist and polymath, as familiar with Hindu scriptures as he was with quantum mechanics, J.

In their meticulous and riveting biography, Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin reveal a brilliant, ambitious, complex and flawed man, profoundly involved with some of the momentous events of the twentieth century.
