About this listen
Let's rewind in time to meet a certain J. Robert Oppenheimer. We'll call him the "Master of Atomic Mayhem," and for a good reason.
This lad, once a lover of poetry in the academic jungles of Harvard and Cambridge, ended up playing with the building blocks of the universe in the dry, remote desert of Los Alamos. In the midst of World War II, Oppenheimer was not penning sonnets to the serene landscape. Oh no, he was orchestrating the creation of the world's deadliest weapon, the atomic bomb, under a veil of secrecy. This cocktail of doom and destruction ushered in the Atomic Age.
Post-war life wasn't a walk in the park for Oppenheimer. He found himself caught in the crossfire of political skirmishes and public scrutiny during the McCarthy Era. But amidst all that, he stamped a lasting imprint on science and policy that we still can't shake off today.
Designed to entertain you as much as educate, Witty History blends critical historical moments with tongue-in-cheek commentary to place you in the world of Oppenheimer. Whether you're an avid history buff, a casual reader, or someone who just wants to look smart at dinner parties, this book is your front-row ticket to one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century.
