Prometeo americano
el triunfo y la tragedia de J. Robert Oppenheimer
Premio Pulitzer 2006
Bird, Kai
Sherwin, Martin J.
On July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert, the first atomic bomb was secretly detonated. Shocked by the destructive power of his creation, J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Manhattan Project, would commit himself from then on to fight against the development of the hydrogen bomb and against nuclear war. Suspected of being a communist for the United States of the McCarthy era, he was persecuted by the FBI, smeared as a spy for the Soviet Union and forced to resign from any public function. His private life was similarly drawn into the grotesque; His house was raided with hidden microphones, and his phone was tapped. It would not be until 1963 that President Kennedy would rehabilitate him and, with this, his figure would obtain another face for the citizens of the entire world.
