Description

Explore the historical downfall of J. Robert Oppenheimer in this study by Holloway. In June 1954, the Atomic Energy Commission declared the wartime director of the Manhattan Project a security risk, leading to his removal from government service. While many historians focus on political or historical explanations, this work examines the role of rhetoric in his demise. Holloway looks at the symbolic nature of politics and character during this period. The book highlights how political and scientific terminologies interacted in American discourse. This is a significant resource for readers interested in the intersection of science, politics, and the life of the man known as the Father of the Atomic Bomb.
